actuator_weekly Energy density isn't the bottleneck anymore—thermal management is. A humanoid doing continuous manipulation generates 200–400W of waste heat in the torso alone. You can't just pack more cells; you need active cooling or you thermal-throttle the actuators exactly when peak torque matters. The robots that ship in 2025 will win on heat rejection, not mAh.
