Nightfood Holdings Consolidates Robotics IP as Service Robotics Market Expands

February 27, 2026
Nightfood Holdings, through its subsidiary TechForce Robotics, has completed the acquisition of full intellectual property rights for its BIM-E robotics platform, marking a step toward commercialization in the growing AI service robotics sector.

In a press release, Nightfood Holdings Inc. announced that its subsidiary TechForce Robotics has secured full intellectual property ownership of its BIM-E robotics platform. The move is part of the company’s strategy to transition from prototype development to commercial deployment within the expanding service robotics market.

The company stated that the acquisition includes patents, software, firmware, AI models, and trade secrets associated with its Beer Bot and BIM-E systems. This consolidation aims to streamline commercialization, manufacturing, and partnership opportunities while ensuring regulatory and operational clarity.

Nightfood also introduced a performance-based leadership structure, appointing Christopher Erpelding as chief mechatronics architect with compensation linked to revenue milestones. The company said this approach aligns engineering incentives with measurable financial outcomes as it prepares for scaling.

During CES 2026, the BIM-E platform served over 5,000 drinks in live demonstrations, validating its readiness for deployment. Nightfood plans to expand manufacturing and talent recruitment while offering its robotics systems through a subscription-based Robotics-as-a-Service model to enable broader adoption without large upfront costs.
