Meet Memo, a home robot that doesn’t try to be your new metallic overlord.
Instead, it rolls around like a cheerful animated sidekick, complete with a wide base and a playful cartoon cap that makes it feel more like a character than a machine. It’s immediately disarming in the best way.
With a rolling, weighted base, and a telescoping pedestal design, Memo is unlike many other humanoid robots.
What’s refreshing about Memo is that it’s built for real life, not for a glossy tech demo.
Offered with a range of cap styles, there’s some serious charm happening here.
If you believe all of the marketing, it can clear dishes, help fold laundry, pick things up, and generally act like the world’s most patient little helper.
And, Memo is doing so fully autonomously, unlike a number of other humanoid robots.
Sunday Robotics trained it using a special sensor glove in hundreds of actual homes, which means it’s unbothered by messy kitchens, kids’ toys on the floor, or the general chaos that most robots would panic over.
Memo has seen things.
In an increasingly crowded field of humanoid robots trying (and often failing) to mimic us, Memo stands out by embracing its own oddball charm.
It doesn’t pretend to be human, it just tries to be helpful, reliable, and a tiny bit adorable.
And honestly, that might be the future of home robots: not tall, sleek androids, but friendly, hardworking characters you wouldn’t mind sharing a house with.
Founded by Stanford PhD roboticists Tony Zhao (CEO) and Cheng Chi (CTO), they have assembled a small yet impressive team that claims their robot can learn home skills faster than any other robot out there.
Sunday Robotics, is gearing up for a late-2026 beta launch, offering real household help thanks to a unique training system that captures human movements in hundreds of real homes.
The company says each unit currently costs about $20,000 to build by hand, though they expect mass production to cut that figure by at least half, with final pricing still unannounced.
