Also battery life, You can give a human a couple of sandwiches and they’ll go all day, the robot probably needs a 20kg battery and still won’t go more than 8 hours without charging. Its actually one of the kind of mindblowing things about organic systems, A whole human body runs on less power than just the control unit for one of these robots (assuming its similar to a mid range laptop) let alone the motors.
I have a very simple test for these things when it comes to military stuff - would this or that piece of tech have proved an obstacle to the NLF (you know… that organisation people insist on calling the "Viet Cong)?
And the answer for this robot is… only if the objective was to provide them with lots of fancy scrap metal.
Its based on a rough calculation, a humans energy consumption averages to about a 126w supply, a mid range laptop uses about 150w. Admitedly a humans energy consumption is going to change a lot moment to moment but then so is the robots.

Wait how many Kcal does a laptop burn a day?

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.
