Memo
By Sunday Robotics · United States · announced November 2025
A wheeled, two-armed home robot that learns chores from people wearing $200 sensor gloves, heading into a 50-household beta.
Broader research scope
This is a research record, not a curated recommendation.
The main field guide selects 14 companion robots for deeper review. This entry belongs to a separate 53-record index that also covers industrial, research, and developer systems.
Research summary
What the record says.
Memo is the debut robot from Sunday Robotics, which came out of stealth in November 2025 with an unusual thesis: skip legs, skip the humanoid form, and solve the data problem instead. Skills are collected by ordinary people performing chores while wearing Sunday's roughly $200 instrumented gloves; Memo then reproduces those skills with its own two arms and wheeled base. Demonstrations include loading dishwashers, making espresso and folding socks.
The company raised a $165 million Series B at a $1.15 billion valuation in March 2026, led by Coatue, and is recruiting about 50 households for a 2026 'Founding Family' beta with individually numbered units. Hand-built units currently cost around $20,000 to make; Sunday targets a retail price under $10,000 at scale.
Nothing is for sale yet, and no delivery to a beta household had been publicly confirmed as of July 2026.
