Video: This home humanoid robot learns kitchen chores by watching humans

From clearing the table to putting the dishes in the dishwasher, a humanoid robot can now perform a wide range of household tasks with human-like dexterity. Sunday Robotics, a California-based robotics company, has published a new video on its official account on the X social network, in which the company’s humanoid robot named Memo is seen performing a series of daily household activities. In this video, the movement accuracy and coordination of the robot’s hands are very similar to natural human movements.

This robot is designed to automate repetitive household tasks. Memo has the ability to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can free people from doing monotonous and time-consuming daily tasks. In the published video, Memo is seen performing an experiment called Pick up anything, during which the robot works with objects of various shapes and sizes. Baskets, trays, ladles, glasses, screwdrivers, and wires are just some of the items the robot can pick up and move without having to be specifically programmed for each object. This performance represents a high level of spatial awareness and motor skills previously rarely seen in domestic robots.

According to the information published on Sunday Robotics’ official website, Memo’s abilities are not limited to simple moving objects. This robot can clean the table and dishes, fold socks, wash clothes, work with breakable dishes and even prepare a cup of espresso coffee. Such a range of skills makes Memo one of the most advanced home robots ever introduced.

Memo is designed only to upper body level and is connected to a fixed platform in the lower part. The platform consists of two arms that perform all operational tasks. This robot has traveled the path of rapid development; Because last year he had only one hand and was only able to perform one specific task, which is to arrange shoes.

Memo’s core is built on advanced artificial intelligence and an ever-expanding skills library. This library allows the robot to continuously learn new skills and improve them, without depending on a limited set of predefined commands. One of the company’s key innovations is the exclusive Skill Capture Glove, which acts as the robot’s palms. Memo records all the movements that this glove makes and uses them to extract millions of human movements and turn them into useful home skills in its internal artificial intelligence system.

The outer shell of the robot is made of silicone and does not have sharp corners to ensure the safety of use in the home environment. It is also possible to personalize the appearance of Memo through caps with various colors. Currently, Memo is not yet available in the consumer market, but Sunday Robotics plans to launch a beta program in late 2026, inviting select families to test the robot for free.

Imitative learning is fast becoming popular as a method in which robots are trained by observing human behavior; Because it is simpler and more flexible compared to traditional programming. This feature makes robots ideal for irregular and unpredictable environments such as homes, hospitals, stores and public services.
