## Figure AI's Robot Decommissioning
Figure AI released a promo video showing its F.02 units jumping into a vat of liquid steel for decommissioning.
## Terminator 2 Reference
The video opens with a reference to the 1991 film terminator 2: judgment day where robots leap into molten steel.
## Finnish Foundry Challenge
Figure trained its robots to dive off a balcony at a foundry in imatra finland with only 24 hours and six melts.
## Extreme Conditions
The robots operated in extreme heat and electromagnetic fields with only a 20-minute window per melt before steel cooled.
## Decommissioning Success
Figure achieved decommissioning with robots leaping into molten steel despite technical challenges.
## Key takeaway

Figure AI decommissioned F.02 robots by having them jump into liquid steel at a Finnish foundry.
