I get that ambulate just means to walk around but it gives the sense to something medical (as an American).

That was my reaction as well to seeing the name. It makes me think of both ambulance and amputate, which are not good associations.
The usage of the word is reminiscent of ambulatory which has a distinctive medical jargon connotation to my ear.
