Memo

What it is

Vendor

Sunday Robotics · based in US

Status

Announced: Publicly described. No way to obtain it.

Confidence

Vendor claim Rests on the vendor’s own statements. Nobody independent has verified it.

Can I get it where I am?

What the vendor says about the worldwide rollout

Memo will not be available for purchase until after we complete our beta testing in 2026.

All tracked regions

“Not announced” means the vendor had said nothing about that region when it was last checked, on the date shown; “Not offered” means the vendor has said no. An EU-wide offer counts for Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany unless the vendor says otherwise for one of them. Prices are recorded in the currency the vendor published and are never converted in the data.

May it legally be sold there?

This is a different question from whether the vendor offers it, and the two come apart: a vendor can hold open pre-orders for a robot that has no current path to being lawfully imported. The site records them separately and never merges them.

• United States

  Unknown fcc-covered-list

  Whether the robot may lawfully be sold here is not established. We do not infer it.

  FCC's Covered List rule for foreign-produced advanced robotic devices took effect 2026-07-28. A domestic end product (US manufacture plus a domestic-component-cost share) is not covered. No source states where Memo is manufactured or its domestic-component share. Models that received FCC equipment authorisation before that date may still be imported, marketed and sold, but may not be modified except for certain software and firmware updates allowed under an FCC waiver until at least 1 January 2029; a product not authorised by that date is not grandfathered. No source states whether Memo received FCC authorisation before that date, and it is not yet purchasable anywhere, so whether the rule affects it is unestablished.

What it can do

Listed under Laundry, Dishes, Cooking and drinks, Tidying up, derived from the claims below.

Capability claims in the vendor’s own words, never rewritten into categories. What matters most is the label beside each one: shipped means sold and verified working, demonstrated means shown in a controlled demo, and claimed means asserted and not shown.

• Clears the table after a meal: collects utensils, plates, cups and wine glasses, clears napkins, and dumps food scraps. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

How it works

Within a task

Adapts within a task

The robot perceives what is actually in front of it and adjusts. If a sock slips mid-fold, it is meant to recover. This is what the AI-autonomy criterion tests.

How a task starts

Being shown the task

Descriptive only. A button, a spoken sentence and a schedule are different interfaces, not different degrees of intelligence.

Will it try something new?

Unknown

The vendor has not said whether the robot will attempt a task it was not validated on.

Vendor's own framing centres on learning from human demonstration (the Skill Capture Glove) rather than natural-language instruction; no statement found on how open-ended in-use tasking is.

Human operator

None described

Nothing we found describes a remote human operator completing tasks for this robot. Note that the dataset records this as a plain yes or no, so “no” here means “not described”, not “established to be absent”.

Why it qualifies

A robot is listed only if it meets all four criteria. The evidence is kept so the criteria can be re-tuned against real cases rather than re-argued. How these are applied.

• Multi-task by design

  Met

  Performs two or more distinct household task types. Not a single-purpose appliance, and not one task described several ways.

  Five distinct vendor-listed tasks across kitchen, laundry and tidying: clearing the table, running the dishwasher, folding clothes, putting away shoes, brewing espresso.

  Evidence: 3. Sunday Robotics (GlobeNewswire)

• Physical manipulation

  Met

  Has arms, grippers or manipulators, and can pick up, move or handle objects.

  Dual arms reaching 7ft or to ground level, vendor-described compliant control.

  Evidence: 3. Sunday Robotics (GlobeNewswire)

• AI-driven autonomy

  Met

  Copes with unscripted variation within a task: it perceives what is actually there and adapts, rather than replaying a fixed motion sequence. How a task is started is not part of this test.

  Vendor states the robot is trained on ~10M episodes captured in 500+ real homes via a patented "Skill Capture Glove" -- an explicit imitation-learning / learned-policy approach tasked by demonstration, not fixed programming.

  Evidence: 3. Sunday Robotics (GlobeNewswire)

• Credible home path

  Met

  Targets domestic use, and has a public price, preorder or announced release window. Pure research demos are excluded.

  Not yet for sale, but a named, dated, invite-only "Founding Family" beta programme, free to participating households and launching in late 2026. No price has been announced; the vendor's own estimate of the cost to build one Memo by hand today is USD 20,000, and it says large-scale manufacturing will reduce costs by at least 50%.
