Figure decommissioned its F.02 humanoid fleet in a molten steel furnace in Finland

Figure disposed of its retired F.02 humanoid robots by having them leap into a 75-ton electric arc furnace at a foundry in Imatra, Finland. The robots performed the jumps autonomously, and the resulting metal was shipped back to the US for a commemorative run. The newer F.03 fleet has replaced them.

• F.02 robots were dropped into a 75-ton electric arc furnace in Imatra, Finland
• Only six melt cycles were available within a 24-hour window
• US and Mexican facilities refused due to the robots' lithium-ion batteries
• Recovered metal was shipped to the US for commemorative artifacts
