Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has launched a new company called Atoms that focuses on robotics and spans multiple industries including mining and transportation.

The venture represents a rebranding and expansion of Kalanick's existing business interests. His ghost kitchen company CloudKitchens, which operates delivery-only restaurant facilities, will be incorporated into the new Atoms company structure.

Atoms is positioning itself to operate across several sectors beyond food services. The company plans to pursue opportunities in mining and transportation, leveraging robotics technology as a core component of its business model.

Kalanick founded CloudKitchens after leaving Uber in 2017 following a series of scandals and investor pressure. The ghost kitchen business capitalized on the growing demand for food delivery services by providing kitchen spaces specifically designed for delivery operations rather than traditional dine-in restaurants.

The launch of Atoms marks Kalanick's continued focus on technology-driven business models that aim to disrupt traditional industries through automation and operational efficiency.
