About
About Circulus
Pibo is a compact social robot built around voice, vision, movement and programmable interaction. Its development environment supports applications for homes, schools and makers, extending the product beyond a fixed set of companion behaviours into an education and experimentation platform.
Circulus is also developing local inference for its robot systems. That on-device approach keeps parts of the perception and interaction workload on the machine itself, while the company's humanoid work applies the same software direction to a larger physical form.

- 2026-05-20 - Capability - Circulus runs its physical-AI stack on Intel Core Ultra Series 3
The architecture processes language, vision, reasoning and motion locally to support offline operation and data privacy. Circulus applies the stack across its Pibo social robot and enterprise AI workstations for humanoid platforms. A humanoid powered by the Circulus software and Intel processor was demonstrated at Red Hat Summit 2026.
