Think so, yes. It's quite little, and has four motors, and a CPU to power.

And that CPU is going to be pretty busy. So it's not surprising the battery doesn't last that long.

Presumably the battery is swappable, so you could go out for a day's farting about with a bundle of (probably quite spendy) batteries in your kit bag.
