What we know
Most of what's known comes from Sunday's own videos, announcements and interviews, as reported by Business Insider, Euronews and TechCrunch. Humanoids Daily wrote up an outside visitor's tour of Sunday's lab, which adds detail on safety and lab success rates, though that was still a demo the company hosted. Together they show what Sunday says Memo can do: clear a table into the dishwasher, pair socks, and learn from people wearing a glove shaped like its hand.
Chores it's shown doing
Sunday's videos show Memo clearing plates, cutlery and wine glasses off a table, scraping food into the bin, then loading and starting the dishwasher. It also makes espresso and folds socks Sunday Robotics. Business Insider reported the chief executive's claim that it broke no wine glasses across more than 20 live demos. According to Humanoids Daily, the table-to-dishwasher routine involves 33 interactions with 21 objects.
Trained by gloves, not remote control
Instead of staff steering the robot remotely, Sunday sends hundreds of people a glove that matches Memo's hand, and they record themselves doing chores Business Insider. Euronews reported more than 500 of these data collectors across the US. Sunday says this means Memo doesn't need someone remote-controlling it inside your home to learn Sunday Robotics. That's a real privacy difference from robots that rely on a remote operator.
Wheels for stability
Memo rolls rather than walks. Sunday says it has passive stability, so it won't collapse or fall if the power cuts out, and its arms give way if you push them mid-task Sunday Robotics. Humanoids Daily reports that much of its weight sits low in the base. It's also deliberately slow: Sunday trains it to move at about half a person's natural pace Sunday Robotics.
Lab results aren't home results
Nobody independent has tested Memo yet, and the lab numbers come with a catch. Humanoids Daily reports a success rate of about 90% in Sunday's lab, and points out that controlled demos are set up to go well. Sunday itself says it's still working on reliability so Memo can do these jobs in homes it hasn't seen Sunday Robotics. The founder also admitted that problems had crept into the training data, such as cameras mounted backwards. The beta is where all of that gets tested.
Our take
Should you buy the Memo?
Best for: People following a product that is not ready to buy. Skip it if: You need a finished robot you can buy and use now.
one to watch rather than plan around, unless you are in the US and want to apply for the beta. 1X's NEO is the nearest home robot you can order, though it leans on remote human help for unfamiliar jobs.
Memo is Sunday Robotics' first robot, a two-armed upper body with pincer hands on a wheeled base. It is built for chores such as clearing plates into a dishwasher and pairing socks. Instead of teaching it by remote control, Sunday has people wear a glove shaped like Memo's hand while they do housework at home, and trains Memo on those recordings.
You can't buy one yet. Coverage from Business Insider, Euronews and TechCrunch is built on Sunday's own videos and announcements. Sunday is choosing a small group of US households for a beta starting in late 2026, with full production to follow, and admits it is still working on how reliably Memo does these jobs in homes it has not seen. Sunday quotes a runtime of about four hours.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Can I actually buy one?
No. Sunday says Memo won't be on sale until after its 2026 beta, and you can only apply to be one of the beta's Founding Families Sunday Robotics. TechCrunch reported the company's plan to get its first autonomous robots into homes by Thanksgiving. We found no plans for the UK, Europe or Australia.
What can it do on its own today?
In Sunday's demos it clears tables, loads and runs the dishwasher, pulls an espresso shot and deals with piles of socks Sunday Robotics. Sunday calls all of this autonomous. No independent reviewer has seen it do these jobs in an ordinary home, and Humanoids Daily notes the demos happen in controlled settings.
Is it safe to have around people?
Sunday says Memo stays upright if the power fails, its arms give way when pushed, it has no sharp corners and it moves at about half human speed Sunday Robotics. It still weighs 77kg the specifications. Nobody independent has checked any of this, so take it as the maker's word for now.
What does it need to run?
Power, mainly: Sunday claims four hours of running time and a one-hour charge, and promises self-charging for the beta the specifications. It also relies on Sunday's AI models and skill library, which the company says will keep getting new skills Sunday Robotics.
Alternatives
Other humanoid robots to compare.
NEO
Why consider it: An early-access home humanoid with US deliveries planned for 2026.
The compromise: It arrives with basic autonomy and relies on a remote human expert for unfamiliar tasks.
Figure 03
Why consider it: Another humanoid pitched at household jobs done with its hands, such as laundry and dishes.
The compromise: You can't order one for home use, and there's no owner history yet.
