Comparison · runtime
Humanoid makers publish (or are reported to have) batteries from under 1 kWh to about 2.3 kWh, and runtimes of a few hours. A mind is a small part of that load: Prismatic's greenfield host, the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, runs in NVIDIA's published 15–60 W modes (retrofit sites use a mains-powered 64 GB Mac mini and no robot battery). This chart puts batteries, runtimes and mind power side by side; the calculator does the arithmetic.
Prismatic's rows come first, labelled; the robots follow alphabetically. A robot's runtime is its whole body; a mind's figure is the mind alone. They are different jobs, shown side by side.

For patient investors
Retrofit sites pay first on a 64 GB Mac mini (M5 Pro) beside machines that already work. Greenfield machines carry the same mind inside, on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, licensed per machine. The horizon (blackouts, wilderness, space) is where a mind that needs no cloud is not a feature but the point.
Battery sizes for several robots; whole-machine power of Prismatic's hosts (only compute is measured).
