Hasta la vista, baby – Figure F.02 humanoid robots decommissioned, T2-style

AI Summary

Decommissioning humanoid robots that contain proprietary technology is challenging because manufacturers must prevent both waste of expensive raw materials and unauthorized access to the tech. To address this, some companies are having the robots destroy themselves by propelling their bodies into a vat of molten steel, a method reminiscent of Terminator 2. This approach ensures the robots’ components are melted and the proprietary technology is rendered unusable.
