Retired humanoid robots end their service in a vat of molten steel
Original: Humanoid robot fleet decommissioned in wild Terminator-style leap into molten steel
A fleet of humanoid robots has been decommissioned by being tipped into molten steel, a disposal method observers have compared to the furnace scene in Terminator 2. The dramatic end-of-life process for the machines has drawn attention for its cinematic parallel and for raising questions about why such advanced robots are being scrapped rather than reused or studied.
Why now: The striking visual of humanoid robots being destroyed in molten steel evokes the famous Terminator films, making it highly shareable.
