alt Hacker NewsInteresting the Atlas robot can only operate from -4 to 104⁰ F. That upper limit is pretty weak, I wonder what starts to break or not work properly at 110⁰ F?

Most likely the cooling of the actuator motors. You need to keep the magnets in the motors under their curie point or they stop being magnets. At the same time the coils right next to the magnets are heated by the electricity going through them.
No idea, but probably electronics overheating. Need to get to work on that robot blood stat!
