Admitedly a humans energy consumption is going to change a lot moment to moment but then so is the robots. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Hmm... well considering small sedentary adults need like around 1,200 to survive, then a mid range laptop seems like it would require 1,400. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Nah its based on a 2000kcal/day person, there's a still a lot of caveats sure like the person has to sleep but considering we're comparing to literally just the robots brain a human is way more efficient. permalink fedilink source parent
