Yeah, it measures the same thing we normally use Joule for, or in some situations kcal (as in dietary calories). The kWh unit is just because it's assumed to be simpler for electric bills than MJ.
Now I can’t help but imagine robots having “family joules”: batteries that have been passed down through the iterations.
I guess here in Norway we can celebrate Joule with Joulenissen that brings battery-powered toys for the kids
