A Milestone Partnership Event

Munich, October 06, 2025 – A landmark moment for embodied robotics: Circus Group has officially launched its first CA-1 autonomous robot at Meta’s Munich office, marking the system’s debut in a real-world client environment. Powered by CircusOS, the company’s AI-native operating system, the CA-1 combines robotics, software, and culinary intelligence to deliver fully autonomous meal production. 

The Meta × Circus Partnership Launch Event celebrated the first deployment of the CA-1 system, a next-generation autonomous food robot developed to serve fresh, high-quality meals on demand.

Held at Meta’s headquarters in Munich, the event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Circus Group’s Founder and CEO Nikolas Bullwinkel and Meta’s Regional Director for Central Europe Tino Krause.

Guests, including Meta employees, journalists, and industry leaders, experienced a live demonstration of the robot in operation and an exclusive preview of Circus’ upcoming technologies.

More than a hundred guests attended, including representatives from the press, investors, and industry partners. The excitement for the potential of this tecnology was palpable as the CA-1 was officially unveiled and activated on-site for the first time.
