Fixed capitalization. This is particularly important for calories, since capitalization is often used to distinguish dietary Calories and gram calories.

You probably got confused between Caloriescalories and Dietarydietary Calories, which are actually Kilokilo-Caloriescalories.

An Averageaverage person is on about 2,000 KCalkcal a day - which is Approxapproximately 8.37 million Joulesjoules.

700 Wattwatt-Hourshours is 2.52e+6 or 2.52 million joules.

For reference - that's about me doing a 35 minute jog on a treadmill at 9 kph.

On an equivalent of 2,000 KCalkcal per day - your robot needs 2324.444 Wattwatt-Hourshours of power.

However....

There are things we Humanshumans have to do, that your Robotrobot doesn't - we consume power even when we are sitting down, we have to keep our body temp within a specific range etc.

And that actually uses a lot of energy - so realistically, you could probably halve it and use 2x 700 watt-hour batteries for a 24 hour period.
