It's only a movie special-effect. The robot had the (entirely fictional) ability to phase-change and to rearrange itself in any configuration to duplicate objects or people. Quite a handy plot-device, but it is nothing that we can make any material do. Look at an ice cube in a tray. We can leave it on the counter until it melts, then put it back in the freezer until it re-freezes. Is it the same ice cube with the same molecules all in the same relative positions? Not even close.
