Sunday Robotics_ The Household Robot We've Been Waiting For

Founded by Stanford roboticists Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi, Sunday recently raised a $165M Series B to solve the data bottleneck holding back home robotics. Their approach: collect millions of demonstrations from humans wearing $200 Skill Capture Gloves, then train robots to replicate those movements.

In this video, I got to see Memo in action:
Clearing tables and loading the dishwasher
Making espresso
Folding laundry
Plus:
How Sunday collected 10 million household task demonstrations
Why they chose wheels over legs (and no face instead of eyes)
Inside their facility where gloves and robots are built
Me attempting (and failing) to be a Memory Developer

Sunday's bet: household robots don't need to be humanoid - they need to be reliable.
