“Our ‘Circus Autonomy One' robot exemplifies our vision of the future of food service in high-traffic environments. Therefore, partnering with Berlin Brandenburg Airport is a significant step for us. By integrating our advanced AI and robotics technology, we aim to enhance operational efficiency and deliver high-quality, hygienic meals at scale.
