Figure melted its old humanoids in a Finnish furnace with Arnold Schwarzenegger
“They asked the internet how to kill their old robots. Arnold said melt them. So they trained the robots to jump into lava in Finland and sold the leftovers.”
The Story
Figure retired its F.02 fleet by training the robots to jump autonomously into a 75-ton electric-arc furnace in Imatra, Finland, because disassembly would delay F.04 and the actuators contain IP. The company asked the internet; Arnold Schwarzenegger said to melt them and then appeared in the film. The steel bars are being machined into limited artifacts, and Figure stresses that the footage is real.
Why It Matters
A robotics company turned disposal of its workers into a Terminator funeral ritual and the melted bodies into merch.
