Circus Introduces AI-Robot for Defense Operations
CA-M is the world's first autonomous AI-robotics system to fuel troops in high-risk territory and remote field operations. Engineered for extreme operational environments, CA-M eliminates personnel risk, automates field nutrition logistics, and unlocks critical manpower in defense operations. Active negotiations underway with multiple NATO-aligned and allied defense forces for initial field deployments; classified demonstrations of the CA-M available in Munich. MUNICH, April 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology company in AI- robotics for autonomous food infrastructure, today introduces the CA-M, the world's first autonomous meal supply AI-robot developed specifically for defense forces operating in high-risk territory and beyond traditional supply lines. With modern military operations facing increasingly complex supply chain challenges, limited meal access, outdated nutrition standards, and the vulnerability of static field kitchens in high-risk zones, the CA-M delivers a breakthrough with fully autonomous, on-demand meal production under extreme operational conditions. By eliminating the dependency on traditional field kitchens and minimizing supply chain personnel in hostile environments, the CA-M redefines how armed forces sustain themselves during operations. The launch of CA-M marks the second product in Circus' AI-robotics line, arriving shortly after the company's start of serial manufacturing for its flagship CA-1 AI-robotic system. Built on the same patented technology as its civilian version CA-1, the CA-M extends the core capabilities into an outdoor, ruggedized format engineered for frontline use. Engineered for rapid deployment and operational agility, the CA-M is embedded in a 20- foot container, ensuring seamless mobility across military logistics networks and operates autonomously through CircusOS—Circus' AI-native operating system. Designed for extreme environments, it significantly reduces the need for human involvement in food preparation and distribution by leveraging robotics and minimal external dependencies. With off-grid features and onboard capacity for ingredients to prepare over 1,000 fresh meals per load, the CA-M ensures autonomous operations even in highly dynamic or remote conditions. "In war and crisis, sustaining military personnel is just as critical as equipping them," said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO of Circus SE. "With the CA-M, we're proud to deliver a new backbone for troop sustainment—targeted nutrition, on demand, at the edge of operations. Developed over more than a year and in deep exchange with frontline operators, the CA-M eliminates complex, manual meal supply processes. It's a bold leap forward that redefines military logistics, a true global invention, and strong international demand confirms the urgent need to reimagine how we power defense missions."

Britney Spears' entourage seen carrying creepy doll as she arrives in Mexico for beach vacation
Britney Spears' entourage was seen carrying a creepy doll as she arrived in Mexico for another beach vacation. The 'Toxic' songstress and a man were seen making their way through the airport with the latter carrying a baby doll wrapped in a pink blanket. In one photo, the toy's leg and foot could be seen protruding out from under the blanket. Spears kept a low profile for the outing, wearing a black hoodie and sunglasses for her airport venture. The pop star, 43, has flaunted her doll collection before, even dancing with one in an October 2021 Instagram post. 'I had a baby y'all … I will be taking some time off shooting at home every day!!!' she captioned the clip. 'Her nursery is beautiful and her name is Brennan … we even look alike !!! My first !!! I'm turning 40 this year … age is nothing but a number but seriously … growing up is the dumbest thing you'll ever do so PLAY ON MY FRIENDS !!!!' Earlier this year, Spears also reshared a clip of a Barbie doll-like figure's legs dancing while announcing she had to be evacuated from her Los Angeles estate due to the devastating fires. 'I hope you are all doing OK !!! I had to evacuate my home and I'm driving 4 hours to a hotel!!!' she wrote at the time. 'I'm posting these adorable shoes to lift people's spirits !!! Most people may not even be on their phones !!! I wasn't the past two days because I had no electricity to charge and I just got my phone back !!! I pray you're all doing well and I send my love !!!' The music icon jetted off to Mexico after news broke that she had called it quits with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Paul Soliz, for the second time. Last week, an insider confirmed to Page Six that Spears and the ex-convict parted ways in February after they started dating in 2023. At the time, Spears had filed to divorce ex-husband Sam Asghari after one year of marriage. The 'Circus' singer showed Soliz what he was missing with a cheeky lingerie photo in Mexico on Saturday. She posed with her back facing the camera and her fingers running through her hair. Earlier in the day, Spears flaunted her figure on the beach sans clothes.

Mobile Civic Center murals move inch by inch
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Parts of Mobile Civic Center history are being preserved. Saturday morning, a crew moved a giant section of the civic center's wall into storage. Former Mobile County Commissioner Stephen Nodine cleared to run for mayor This is one of two murals from Conrad Albrizio. They were cut out of the walls of the civic center, and you can even see the cinder blocks they were attached to. The murals were slowly moved, inch by inch, across the grounds of the civic center into what was the old expo hall. The murals 'Mardi Gras' and 'Circus' will be kept in storage until they're installed in a new, yet-to-be-built arena. 'These have a lot of meaning to Mobile,' Volkert Program Manager Sam Matheny said. 'I mean, they're part of Mobile's history, the Civic Center, and that Mayor Stimpson and the administration have been willing to do this because it's, it's rather intricate and expensive.' A city spokesman said the cost to remove and preserve the murals is about $1.5 million. While the mural took about an hour to move, it took six months to prepare and figure out how to do it. The first mural was moved into storage last week. Crews had to move very slowly to prevent anything that could flex and damage the art pieces. Workers were constantly adjusting their course to keep the wall sections even and intact. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
