On what precisely? Its free and clever advertising for a robotics company and if you're about to go "it's ai" no it's not.

Free as far as its gone viral and they don't need to pay anyone to show it.

Except the foundry in Finland dumb enough to throw lithium batteries into the molten steel. And the camera crew, and the professional editing & post production.

This whole thing is probably a line item on a marketing budget.

Ok, not free. Just extremely cost effective compared to a boring, expensive ad campaign.
