Is there data on the power draw and maintenance aspect? Looking at these I feel like this is something that's gonna need fixing all the time (due to all the moving parts) and having more than a small amount will be highly inefficient in terms of space and power. I imagine they are able to recharge themselves though so you don't have to worry about that.

I haven't really looked at whether anybody published lifecycle maintenance costs or not. I guess as these types of robots are put to use, we'll learn more about cost effectiveness.
