Circus SE’s CA-1 meal-preparation robotic may be put in at airports, supermarkets, inns, hospitals, and universities, and extra. | Supply: Circus SE
Circus SE, a developer of robotics for the meals service business, 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 programs and software program into a real clever ecosystem: one which oversees, learns, and predicts,” said 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 inbuilt autonomous driving or Meta in social knowledge — leveraging each knowledge level to raised perceive advanced vitamin patterns.”
“With the acquisition of Absolutely, we’re additionally increasing our rising stack of proprietary IP [intellectual property] within the area of world vitamin autonomy for people,” he added.
Hamburg, Germany-based Circus SE mentioned it supplies autonomous programs 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 customized consumer 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 response to Circus SE.
The corporate declared that FullyAI will develop into the cognitive engine of its ecosystem — beginning with a completely built-in, AI-powered, voice-ordering terminal. It is going to broaden into autonomous optimization and customized consumer 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 contains stock and procurement programs, buyer profiling, and real-time robotic operations.
FullyAI’s cognitive engine will remodel knowledge streams into actionable insights, which Circus SE claimed will type the muse for world’s first international vitamin intelligence community. The corporate mentioned the CircusOS operational layer and CA-1 bodily AI/robotics layer will enable its programs to anticipate demand, adapt dynamically, and scale precision vitamin worldwide.
Circus SE provides to management workforce
As a part of the acquisition, the FullyAI engineering workforce and administration has joined Circus SE. Niklas von Weihe, beforehand working carefully with Meta’s superior AI groups, joins as director of AI.
Minh Dao, former CEO of a number one development and model consultancy with purchasers such Tesla, Google, and McDonald’s, has joined as vp 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 beneath firm regulation to implement the acquisition by the top of June.
