Memo is the most focused pure-home robot in the field: no bipedal theatrics, just a wheeled base and two arms aimed at kitchens and living rooms. Sunday Robotics raised a $165M Series B at a $1.15bn valuation in March 2026 explicitly, in its own words, to 'stop giving demos' and start deliveries — with a beta program shipping robots into real households from late 2026.
The interesting part is the training pipeline. Sunday pays a network of 500+ US-based 'Memory Developers' to record everyday chores using a low-cost Skill Capture Glove that mirrors the robot's hands, feeding an in-house model (ACT-1) with demonstrations from real, messy American homes rather than lab mock-ups. It's a credible answer to the data problem that keeps humanoids from doing useful housework — but until beta units are in strangers' houses, it remains a well-funded thesis.
What's real
- • Home-first by design: a wheeled base is more stable, quieter, and cheaper than legs — and stairs aside, homes are mostly flat
- • Training data comes from real US households via its Skill Capture Glove network, not scripted lab demos
- • Serious, deployment-focused backers (Coatue, Benchmark, Bain Capital Ventures, Fidelity, Tiger Global)
- • A stated, dated commitment — beta homes in late 2026 — that will be easy to check
Know before you watch (or buy)
- • You cannot buy one, and there is no published price
- • No independent hands-on reports exist yet; every claim is currently the company's own
- • Home-robot timelines slip industry-wide — treat 'late 2026' as best case
The evidence
Beta program deliveries announced for late 2026; 500+ 'Memory Developers' record daily household demonstrations to train it.

Bottom line
The most credible chore-first home robot on paper — and 'on paper' is the operative phrase. Watch whether the late-2026 beta actually lands in real households; if it does, Memo becomes the robot to compare everything else against.
FAQ
What is Sunday Robotics' Memo?
A wheeled home robot with two arms, built for household chores like clearing tables and loading dishwashers. It's trained on recordings of real people doing chores in their own homes, captured with Sunday's Skill Capture Glove, and runs the company's in-house ACT-1 model.
Can I buy a Memo robot?
Not yet. Sunday announced beta deliveries to real households starting late 2026 and has not published a price. The company raised $165M in March 2026 to fund the rollout.
