That's the official framing, at least - reality tends to lag a bit. DC-DC conversion losses across all the individual actuator drivers add up across a whole robot - it's a less glamorous efficiency question than battery chemistry, but power electronics efficiency meaningfully affects real-world runtime too. Kind of makes me think about how different this all looked even three years ago.
