Memo
A wheeled home robot with two arms, built to clear tables, load the dishwasher and fold socks. It isn't on sale, and everything known so far comes from the company's own videos and demos.

The short version
Memo is Sunday Robotics' first robot: a friendly-looking upper body with two arms and pincer hands, on a wheeled base rather than legs. It's designed for chores. Sunday's videos show it clearing plates and wine glasses into a dishwasher, pulling an espresso shot and pairing socks. Instead of remote-controlling robots to teach them, 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. Sunday is picking a small group of US households for a beta starting in late 2026 and says full production will come after that. The company admits it's still improving how reliably Memo does these jobs in homes it hasn't seen. So far there are only company-run demos and news coverage built on them, with no independent testing at all.
Our take: Memo is one to watch, not one to plan around. If you're in the US and keen to be an early tester, the beta application is the only way in. Everyone else should wait for independent reviews from real homes. 1X's NEO is the nearest home robot you can actually order, though it leans on remote human help for unfamiliar jobs.

What we know so far
Limited evidence No independent, finished hands-on review of this robot yet. What follows comes from the maker's specifications and early coverage, and says where something is untested.
Nobody independent has tested Memo. Coverage from Business Insider, Euronews and TechCrunch is built on Sunday's own videos, announcements and interviews, and none of those reporters say they saw it working in person. Humanoids Daily summarised a tour of Sunday's lab by an outside visitor, which adds detail about safety and lab success rates but is still a company-hosted demo. Treat everything here as what Sunday says Memo can do.
Chores it's shown doing
Sunday's videos show Memo clearing a table of plates, cutlery and wine glasses, scraping food into the bin and loading and starting the dishwasher, plus making espresso and folding socks Sunday Robotics. Business Insider reported the chief executive's claim that it broke no wine glasses across more than 20 live demos. Humanoids Daily says the table-to-dishwasher routine involves 33 interactions with 21 objects. These are chosen demonstrations, not a record from ordinary homes.
Trained by gloves, not remote control
Rather than having staff steer the robot remotely, Sunday ships a glove that matches Memo's hand to hundreds of people, who 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 to be remote-controlled 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
Humanoids Daily reports a success rate of about 90% in Sunday's lab, and notes that controlled demos are optimised settings. Sunday itself says it is still improving reliability so Memo can do these jobs in homes it hasn't seen Sunday Robotics. The founder also admitted that problems with training data, such as cameras mounted backwards, had crept in. The beta is where that gets tested.
No independent reviews or hands-on tests exist. Specs come from Sunday's website.
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 handles piles of socks Sunday Robotics. Sunday calls these autonomous. No independent reviewer has seen it do them in an ordinary home, and Humanoids Daily notes the demos take place in controlled settings.
Is it safe to have around people?
Sunday says Memo stays upright if the power fails, its arms yield when pushed, it has no sharp corners and it moves at about half human speed Sunday Robotics. It still weighs 77kg the specifications. None of this has been checked independently, so treat it as the maker's claim.
What does it need to run?
A charge: Sunday claims four hours of running time and a one-hour charge, with self-charging promised for the beta the specifications. It also depends on Sunday's AI models and skill library, which the company says will keep adding new skills Sunday Robotics.

NEO
An early-access home humanoid with US deliveries planned for 2026.
It arrives with basic autonomy and relies on a remote human expert for unfamiliar tasks.
