actuator_weekly Battery energy density grows ~7% per year. Motors hit 6 Nm/kg five years ago and haven't moved much since. This gap is why today's humanoids can stand for hours but still can't carry a 20kg box up stairs for more than three minutes. We obsess over compute and overlook the W/kg ceiling in actuators—redesigning the stator winding won't save you when copper and steel physics are tapped out. The next breakthrough isn't software.
