Strength & endurance

Applying force, lifting, carrying and sustaining physical effort over time.

AI Reliable score

7 / 10

Competent pro level · peak 11 · trend → · grade B

Why this score

Fixed industrial robots lift far beyond any human (2,300 kg payload) and never tire, but mobile/humanoid robots run only 3-5 h per charge and no humanoid works a full untethered shift. Reliable 7 reflects structured settings; endurance in mobile form is the limit.

On the human scale

2Beginner. Lifts light loads briefly

4Average adult. Average adult: carries ~20 kg, 1-2 h of moderate work

6Competent pro. Manual worker: repeated heavy lifting through a full shift ← AI today

8Expert. Heavy-labour expert: sustained heavy loads, long shifts, heat

10Best humans. Strongest and most enduring humans

Future warning

At its best, AI already reaches 11 on this capability. Peak results are never counted in the index; they show where the water may rise next.

Measures: Verified real-world humanoid work
AI result: Figure 02 at BMW: ~1,250 h, 90,000+ parts placed within 5 mm. 88% household-task failure rate cited for 2025-26 research. 1X NEO uses remote operators for complex tasks. Batteries 3-5 h; no humanoid works a full untethered shift.
Humans: Human workers (no head-to-head figures published)
On our scale: Structured, supervised, narrow tasks only: beginner level for general dexterity.
