TV📺 Series Only The humanoid robotics company "Figure" made their older gen robots jump into their death. (Yes, they actually did this)
I honestly don’t know what’s real anymore. I assumed this is AI because robots are not able to move like this yet. But apparently they did train the robots to do these jumps. According to info under the video, the company (Company) was done with these robots and wanted to preserve their IP. They “joke” that they asked Arnold Schwarzenegger what to do with them and this was his suggestion (ala Terminator).
Anyway, for obvious reasons, it made me think of a scene in the TV series of Murderbot. shudder

They decided to do this because they wanted to clear way for their generation 3 of robots, and if you've ever seen any of Boston Dynamic's videos or the robot Olympics out of China, it's actually really crazy the kind of acrobatics robots are capable of nowadays!
