Circus Launches Fully Autonomous Food Service Using AI and Robotics in the European Care Market

Circus SE, a German technology company for AI and robotics in the food service sector has announced the first successful deal with customers from the nursing and elderly care market.

With its AI-based robots, the company says its solution not only reduces the workload of workers, but also ensures healthy and personalized nutrition. The robots use artificial intelligence to fully automatically prepare fresh meals every day, personalized to individual needs - from preparation to serving.

Circus’ AI robots use artificial intelligence and machine learning to adapt to the nutritional needs and preferences of each user, with robots creating personalized menus.

‘Our aim is not only to improve the quality of catering in the care sector, but also to significantly reduce the workload of care staff,’ says Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO of Circus SE. ‘With our autonomous cooking robots, we are now creating time for the first customers in the care sector, such as Diakonie, for what really counts: human care.’

According to recent studies, there are around 4.5 million people in need of care in Germany. In Europe, the number of people in need of care is around 30 million, a significant proportion of whom are cared for in residential facilities. The market for nursing and elderly care in Europe is estimated to be worth over 500 billion euros, with demand for innovative technologies growing rapidly.

In addition to relieving the burden on care staff and optimizing nutrition, Circus technologies contribute to digitalization and increased efficiency in the healthcare sector.
