MIAMI and ROSH HAAYIN, Israel — January 23, 2026 — Leads & Copy — AIBotics Inc. (OTC: AIBT) and Cannibble Food-Tech Ltd. (CSE: PLCN) have formed a partnership to deploy AI-powered service robots across the food service, hospitality, and security markets.
AIBotics, a developer of AI-enhanced service robots and intelligent automation software, and Cannibble, an Israel-based company with commercial relationships across key service industries, will initially focus on Israel before expanding to North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. The companies will act as reciprocal exclusive distributors for each other’s robotic products and services, subject to definitive agreements.
The agreement allows AIBotics to distribute KEENON Robotics’ service robot portfolio, which includes the DinerBot series (T8, T9, T10, T11), ButlerBot W3, and KleenBot C30 and C40.
The collaboration comes as the global adoption of service robots is projected to grow at over 20% annually, exceeding $90 billion by the end of the decade. This growth is driven by labor shortages, rising wages, and the demand for scalable operations. In Israel, the food service sector generated approximately $8.1 billion in 2023, the hotel industry produced $3.9 billion in revenue in the first nine months of 2022, and the fast-food segment has doubled to about $1.2 billion.
Operators are increasingly turning to automation due to rising labor costs and tighter margins. Retailers, healthcare providers, and transportation hubs are also adopting service robots to enhance efficiency, improve customer experiences, and reduce staff burden. Entry into Israel provides a strategic gateway to the Middle East, where smart city initiatives and infrastructure investment are driving demand for robotics solutions.
Israel is recognized as a global innovation hub, and the adoption of service robots is expected to improve productivity, address labor shortages, and enhance customer experiences. The alliance aims to support scalable automation solutions by combining AIBotics’ AI-driven robotics platforms with Cannibble’s industry relationships and regional presence. This aims to positively impact Israel’s economy and serve as a launchpad for international expansion.
Cannibble Food-Tech recently formed a Robot and AI Division for the Food and Hospitality Industry to market AI-enhanced robotic technologies for use in food service, hospitality, and security applications. AIBotics brings a portfolio of service robots and AI software designed to automate repetitive tasks, improve operational efficiency, and provide consistent, data-driven performance.
Ben Kaplan, CEO of AIBotics, said that Israel is a natural market for advanced service robotics, and Cannibble’s relationships and regional expertise position the company to move quickly. Kaplan added that together, they believe service robots can help transform labor-intensive industries while contributing to economic growth and technological leadership.
The partnership includes a potential future equity transaction, subject to due diligence and board approvals, with an initial three-year term and automatic renewals. It reflects a shared commitment to innovation, commercialization, and the responsible deployment of AI-driven robotics solutions.
AIBotics, Inc. develops and manages AI- and robotics-enhanced technologies designed to solve real-world challenges. Its flagship product is the Phill Robot™, an AI-powered massage robot that delivers spa-quality recovery with IoT integration.
Cannibble Food-Tech Ltd. develops food and beverage products enhanced with alternative proteins targeted for the “Better-for-You” segment.
