Sunday Robotics Debuts Memo, a Soft‑Sided Home Robot Trained in Real Homes

Applications opened for a 50‑household 2026 beta to gauge whether its glove‑captured training translates to reliable performance in everyday settings.

Overview

  • Reporters watched Memo in Mountain View make an espresso, clear glasses, and load a dishwasher during its public reveal on November 19.
  • Sunday trains Memo using a Skill Capture Glove that records human motions, with company claims of data from 500+ households and nearly 10 million real‑home episodes.
  • The robot uses a wheeled base with a height‑adjustable central column, two pincerlike hands, and a silicone‑clad exterior with a friendly, cartoon‑style design.
  • Applications are open for a Founding Family Beta selecting fifty households in 2026 to test capabilities, with Sunday emphasizing evaluation in messy, uncontrolled homes.
  • Sunday cites venture backing from Benchmark and a 25‑person team, and reports Airbnb trials where Memo navigated new layouts and found appliances without direct control.
