Robot Chef Revolution – Circus SE’s CA-1 Robot Begins High-Volume Production in 2025
Circus SE, a robotics and AI company based in Munich, has just completed the first production run of its fourth-generation CA-1 robots in a new high-volume facility. This milestone comes only six months after the factory was set up, and several more robots are already in production.
The CA-1 is a highly complex system with more than 29,000 individual parts — about the same as a small car. It is designed to automate food preparation at scale. The robot uses smart food silos to manage ingredients, induction pots for fast and energy-efficient cooking, and robotic arms to handle dispensing, cooking, and plating. A built-in self-cleaning system and heated silos ensure low maintenance and meals that stay warm until pickup.
Each robot goes through more than 150 precision tests, following quality standards similar to the automotive industry. Circus has partnered with Celestica, a global production specialist, to help scale up manufacturing and meet international demand.
With the new factory, Circus SE says it can produce up to 6,000 units per year. The company is also exploring production options in the U.S. as part of its global expansion.
This achievement moves Circus beyond development and into industrial-scale delivery. It marks the beginning of what the company calls the era of autonomous nutrition — where your next meal may be cooked, plated, and served entirely by a robot.
