Autonomous Home Assistant Robots

Sunday Robotics' Memo Can Handle Objects It's Never Seen Before

Sunday Robotics' Memo sets itself apart as an autonomous robot for the home that doesn't need to learn through human teleoperation, and it capably tackles one of the most challenging tasks—handling objects it has never seen before. The startup recently unveiled ACT-2, a new AI model that powers Memo, and according to Sunday Robotics, Memo folded laundry successfully more than 99% of the time when tested in unfamiliar homes and on garments it had not been specifically trained to handle. "I think 2026 will be when the timeline for autonomous home robots shrinks in a very drastic way because of this breakthrough," Sunday Robotics CEO and cofounder Tony Zhao told Business Insider.

It's one thing for a robot to be able to fold something long and flimsy like a scarf when it's been trained on denim, and to show off Memo's newfound capabilities, Sunday Robotics released a video that's nearly three hours long of the robot folding laundry.
