Circus SE’s CA-1 meal-preparation robotic might be put in at airports, supermarkets, resorts, hospitals, and universities, and extra. | Supply: Circus SE
Circus SE, a developer of robotics for the meals service trade, final week mentioned it acquired agentic AI firm FullyAI. The corporate mentioned this marks a significant milestone in its mission to construct a unified intelligence layer throughout its robotics and software program.
“FullyAI additional advances our autonomous techniques and software program into a real clever ecosystem: one which oversees, learns, and predicts,” acknowledged Nikolas Bullwinkel, founder and CEO of Circus SE. “With this acquisition, we’re laying the groundwork for a world vitamin intelligence layer — similar to what Tesla has in-built autonomous driving or Meta in social knowledge — leveraging each knowledge level to raised perceive complicated vitamin patterns.”
“With the acquisition of Totally, we’re additionally increasing our rising stack of proprietary IP [intellectual property] within the discipline of worldwide vitamin autonomy for people,” he added.
Hamburg, Germany-based Circus SE mentioned it supplies autonomous techniques and software program for the labor-intensive meals service sector. It mentioned its CA-1 robotic applies embodied AI, integrating synthetic intelligence into real-world operations and redefining human-AI collaboration. The firm has been rising its worldwide presence.
FullyAI to be ‘cognitive engine’ for CA-1
FullyAI mentioned it allows real-time operational decision-making, predictive upkeep, and personalised person experiences. The unit‘s software program will course of billions of information factors from the CA-1 autonomous cooking robots to unlock a self-improving intelligence layer that connects each course of in actual time, in line with Circus SE.
The corporate declared that FullyAI will develop into the cognitive engine of its ecosystem — beginning with a totally built-in, AI-powered, voice-ordering terminal. It would broaden into autonomous optimization and personalised person experiences throughout the Circus software program and robotics ecosystem.
Built-in with knowledge at scale from the proprietary CA-1 meal provide robots, FullyAI’s intelligence layer understands context, demand, and behavioral patterns by means of a number of owned knowledge streams, mentioned Circus SE. This consists of stock and procurement techniques, buyer profiling, and real-time robotic operations.
FullyAI’s cognitive engine will rework knowledge streams into actionable insights, which Circus SE claimed will kind the muse for world’s first world vitamin intelligence community. The corporate mentioned the CircusOS operational layer and CA-1 bodily AI/robotics layer will permit its techniques to anticipate demand, adapt dynamically, and scale precision vitamin worldwide.
Circus SE provides to management group
As a part of the acquisition, the FullyAI engineering group and administration has joined Circus SE. Niklas von Weihe, beforehand working intently with Meta’s superior AI groups, joins as director of AI.
Minh Dao, former CEO of a number one development and model consultancy with shoppers such Tesla, Google, and McDonald’s, has joined as vice chairman of development, overseeing new product verticals and brand-scale initiatives.
The transaction was accomplished on the phrases outlined within the advert hoc announcement dated Jan. 12, 2025, together with the issuance of 400,000 new shares with a 36-month lock-up interval. Circus SE mentioned it expects to finish the subsequent steps required underneath firm regulation to implement the acquisition by the tip of June.
