In an exclusive interview with Scott Walter, Sunday Robotics leadership reveals the "data-first" engineering philosophy that led to Memo, confirming the robot was designed around the training pipeline rather than the other way around.
As Sunday Robotics emerges from stealth, a wave of senior engineers from Tesla's Autopilot and Optimus teams have confirmed their defection, citing a desire to return to the rapid innovation culture of early autonomy.
In a new interview, Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi detail their "data-first" philosophy, the end of teleoperation, and why they believe the industry is stuck between "GPT" and "ChatGPT."
Two California startups are racing to solve the household robot, but their approaches couldn''t be more different. We break down the great bifurcation between Sunday Robotics'' utilitarian "Memo" and 1X Technologies'' humanoid "Neo."
Sunday Robotics has revealed "Memo," a wheeled home robot powered by the "ACT-1" foundation model. Bypassing traditional teleoperation, the company is training its AI using human data captured via low-cost gloves, targeting a 2026 beta release.
