Sunday Robotics Memo

Sunday Robotics' wheeled dual-arm home robot, trained on data captured by humans wearing a sensor glove.

Memo is a home robot from the U.S. startup Sunday Robotics, unveiled in November 2025 when the company came out of stealth; it was founded by Tony Zhao, an author of ACT/ALOHA, and Cheng Chi, an author of Diffusion Policy and UMI. It's built as a wheeled base with a telescoping torso and two gripper-equipped arms, covered in a soft silicone shell; the company says it can lower to the floor and extend up to about 7 feet. Its most distinctive feature is that its training data doesn't come from teleoperating the robot itself — instead, people wear a “skill capture glove” to do household chores in real homes, and that data trains Sunday's own model, ACT-1. Demoed tasks include clearing a dining table, loading a dishwasher, folding socks, and making espresso. Sunday's website says a hand-built unit costs about $20,000, with a small-scale private beta planned for late 2026; in March 2026 the company reportedly closed a $165 million funding round at a $1.15 billion valuation.

ExampleClearing bowls and glasses off a dining table and loading them one by one into the dishwasher is one of Memo's signature long-horizon demos.
