US start-up Sunday emerges from stealth with Memo, a two-armed home robot on a wheeled base that clears tables, loads dishwashers and folds socks, with a beta planned for late 2026.

What changes

A two-armed home robot on a stable wheeled base, not a bipedal humanoid.
Adjustable height from floor level up to about 2.1 m with arms extended; about 1.2 m for most tasks.
Tasks shown: clearing plates, loading the dishwasher, making espresso, folding socks.
Prototypes cost about $20,000; beta with "Founding Families" planned for late 2026.

### Background On 20 November 2025, US start-up Sunday came out of stealth with $35 million in funding and unveiled Memo, a home robot. Memo is not a biped: it is a two-armed semi-humanoid on a wheeled base with a low centre of gravity, designed for stability in the home. The arms use compliant control: they can be guided by hand without resistance. For safety, its speed is software-limited to about half of human pace. ### Specifications | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Format | Two arms on a wheeled base | | Height | Adjustable, from floor level to about 2.1 m (7 ft) with arms extended; about 1.2 m in everyday use | | Speed | Limited to about 50% of human pace | | Prototype cost | About $20,000 per unit | | Timeline | Beta in late 2026 | ### Why it matters Sunday makes the opposite bet to 1X or Figure: giving up walking to gain stability and lower cost, focusing on repetitive household chores. The company targets a production price at least half that of the prototypes. ### Key takeaway In March 2026, Sunday was valued at $1.15 billion.
