Figure AI has retired its F.02 humanoid robots and sent them to a foundry in Imatra, Finland, where they were autonomously melted down. The company transitioned to its newer F.03 model, citing the impracticality of maintaining older machines and the risk of exposing proprietary technology. The process involved training the robots to perform the jump using stunt performer movements and simulation, with the resulting metal being turned into commemorative artefacts.
The article describes Figure AI's decision to retire and melt down its F.02 humanoid robots, transitioning to the newer F.03 model. The process involved training the robots to autonomously jump into a furnace using simulated and real-world practice, highlighting the company's approach to managing legacy robotics assets.

Figure AI sent its retired F.02 humanoid robots to a foundry in Imatra, Finland, where they autonomously jumped into a 75-tonne electric arc furnace and were melted down. The unusual move came as the company transitioned to its newer F.03 robot fleet. Figure said maintaining the older machines was no longer practical, while dismantling them individually would consume valuable engineering time and risk exposing proprietary technology.
The process involved training the robots to perform the jump using movements based on stunt performers. Engineers first practised the manoeuvre with airbags at the company’s San Jose campus before training an AI model in simulation to help the robots land accurately inside the furnace. According to Figure, the machines completed the jumps autonomously despite the extreme heat and electromagnetic conditions, which also caused some camera equipment and electronics to fail.
The idea reportedly gained momentum after actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, famous for Terminator 2: Judgment Day, suggested melting the retired robots when the company asked the internet for ideas. Figure says most of its F.02 fleet has now been decommissioned, and the resulting metal bars are being turned into a limited series of commemorative artefacts. The dramatic farewell has drawn attention online for its resemblance to the film’s iconic molten-metal scene.
