A robot recently completed a half-marathon in Beijing, highlighting breakthroughs in robotic movement and agility. However, it required battery swaps three times during the race, emphasizing a significant challenge in robotics: energy and endurance. While advancements in biomechanics and motor control have improved robotic movement, they still fall short in endurance levels compared with living creatures. Research into better batteries is common, but exploring alternative energy sources, such as robots that can 'eat,' may provide a viable solution for the future of robot endurance.
Modern robots can move with incredible agility, mimicking animal locomotion and executing complex tasks with mechanical precision, but they struggle significantly with endurance.
To challenge the status quo of robotics energy consumption, we need to consider alternative approaches, such as building robots that can 'eat' to sustain themselves during long tasks.
