The paradigm shift unlocked

Our mission

Imagine a future where automation technology intersects with one of humanity's most essential necessities – the need to nourish ourselves. A reality where advanced robotics and AI systems autonomously craft quality meals on-demand, empowering equitable access to affordable sustenance anywhere.

This future is already happening – and it's where Circus Group is leading a monumental shift. We aren't just enhancing existing systems, but entirely redefining how humanity nourishes itself. Our mission: Nothing less than to fuel humanity.

The company

At Circus Group, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production – which marks an era yet to be fully understood and discovered. Everything from creation to production and operation, enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology. This is not just an evolution. It's a complete overhaul of the world as we knew it.

Our foundation rests on the extensive developments of groundbreaking robotics driven by artificial intelligence – the missing link to achieving truly autonomous food production on a global scale. This is not just an evolution. It's a complete overhaul of the world as we knew it.

We believe that steering powerful tech innovations to enable richer, fuller lives for people worldwide is a profound moral responsibility of our time. As these new technologies advance fast, it's on us to develop them as positive forces for humanity's good. Drawing from decades of combined expertise across state-of-the-art technologies and the global food service industry, our team is uniquely positioned to spearhead this transformative mission.

By shaping their trajectory now, we can open up new frontiers of human potential. This is the vision that drives Circus Group's food tech solutions. Our technology liberates valuable time from the daily grind of nourishment. We provide equal access to affordable, quality meals on-demand. But we are doing more than just disrupting food service – we are sparking a paradigm shift where technology optimizes resources in radically new ways to create a wealth of opportunity for people to live more fully.

Our roadmap to fueling humanity

The opportunity

For decades, the food service industry has grappled with systemic inefficiencies: ever-growing labor shortages, rising costs and inconsistent quality, just to name a few. On the other hand, billions of people spend hours each week just thinking, planning, preparing, and organizing meals. What should be an enjoyable pastime often becomes a stressful chore when juggling work, family, and nutritional needs.

Now, we have a unique opportunity and momentum to not only enhance existing models but entirely redefine how humanity accesses quality, affordable nourishment through transformative autonomous ecosystems.

We pioneer these integrated food tech solutions to spark the most profound industry shift in generations. In the same way that autonomous driving vehicles are disrupting the way we build cities and organize our days, we will shift our reality and habits around daily nutrition. Shaping a reality where equitable access to delicious, nutritious food empowers humanity's fullest potential.

“Without a radical rethink, today's food service industry will prove ineffective for future generations. It’s time for a new status quo.”

The solution

We aren't just launching new products, but completely reframing life's landscapes. By automating the fundamental human need for nutritious, delicious, and affordable meals, Circus changes how people gather, live, and interact. We optimize resources, open up spaces, and serve quality, affordable meals to empower people to live more fully.

We are forging the future of food service through the synergy of three transformative solution pillars:

CircusOS

At the core lies CircusOS, our proprietary operating system driving intelligent automation. Through advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, CircusOS optimizes every aspect of automated food production – from precise ingredient handling, cooking processes, and quality assurance to packaging and just-in-time meal preparation. This neural kitchen intelligence maximizes culinary excellence while radically reducing costs and waste.

Circus Robotics

Bringing the power of CircusOS to life is our pioneering robotic solution: the Circus Autonomy One (CA-1). As the world's first commercially scalable food production robot, CA-1 autonomously handles the complete operational workflow without human intervention. From prep to cooking, cleaning, and packaging, this autonomous system redefines what's possible in automated, high-quality meal production.

Consumer Concepts

Channeling CircusOS intelligence and CA-1 robotics mastery, our solution empowers the rapid launch and scaling of new AI-driven culinary brands. We're making premium, craveable dining experiences affordable and accessible through tailored consumer brand innovation. This propels our mission of transforming food service by democratizing high-quality, tech-forward culinary concepts worldwide.

This is how we create a substantial part of humanity's positive future – where transformative technology serves people. With Circus Group, true food service autonomy is unlocked and ready to scale.

How we’ll get there

Since founding Circus Group in 2021, we have devoted immense resources to robotics research and development. Our dedicated team of now over 80 industry experts across four locations has successfully created and rigorously tested multiple generations of our flagship CA-1 food production robot. With over 2,000 hours of aggregated testing data under real market conditions, we have fine-tuned CA-1 to achieve full operational autonomy today.

Achieving our transformative vision is an ongoing journey. One that drives us to continuously push the boundaries of what's possible in food service automation. We are relentlessly driving advancements across these areas:

Advancing autonomy

Accelerating towards full food service autonomy, we are running CA-1 under real market conditions while extending its self-monitoring capabilities through advanced computer vision. With enhanced AI for predicting operational risks and food safety, CA-1 will soon operate autonomously with only remote monitoring. Ultimately, we will integrate fail-safe systems enabling CA-1 to operate without human oversight at all – unlocking complete robotic food service autonomy.

Volume manufacturing

As we transition towards global serial production of CA-1, our focus is building the infrastructure and partnerships to support rapid scalability while upholding the highest quality standards. We have created a patented, CE-certified technology that complies with stringent global regulations. Continuous optimization of CA-1 for volume manufacturing remains a focus – enhancing unit economics, hardware costs, throughput capacity, and maintenance complexity.

Ultimately, all these efforts aim to merge the art of cooking and the science of technology to create a world that thinks about food differently than it has for thousands of years. A world where food means something new. Fueling humanity with AI-robotics.
