Sunday Robotics: The Household Robot We've Been Waiting For?
I visited @SundayRobotics to see how they're building a household robot that actually works in real homes.
Founded by Stanford roboticists Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi, Sunday recently raised a $165M Series B to solve the data bottleneck holding back home robotics. Their approach: collect millions of demonstrations from humans wearing $200 Skill Capture Gloves, then train robots to replicate those movements.
In this video, I got to see Memo in action:
- Clearing tables and loading the dishwasher
- Making espresso
- Folding laundry
Plus:
- How Sunday collected 10 million household task demonstrations
- Why they chose wheels over legs (and no face instead of eyes)
- Inside their facility where gloves and robots are built
- Me attempting (and failing) to be a Memory Developer
Sunday's bet: household robots don't need to be humanoid - they need to be reliable.
