If you ever wondered how humanity will part ways with its robots, it turns out the answer lies somewhere between a steel plant in Finland and "Mission: Impossible 2". The American robotics company Figure develops humanoid robots designed to work in factories and industrial environments. In recent years it has become one of the prominent players in the race for human-like robots, with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars. Its robots have already worked, among other places, on BMW's production line in the United States. Recently the company decided to decommission most of its Figure 02 fleet after moving to the new generation, Figure 03. However, dismantling the robots would take a long time, and the company also wanted to prevent proprietary technology from falling into the wrong hands. So CEO Bert Edok turned to the internet and asked what should be done with them. Among the answers came a suggestion from a person who knows a thing or two about human-robot relations: Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Cut them up," he suggested. At Figure, they somehow decided that this was excellent advice.
