We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
Sunday Robotics' Tony Zhao runs a fully autonomous robot demo live and unscripted, and it corrects itself every time you mess with it:
@brexton: "I want to confirm for the audience right now that this is fully autonomous. There's no teleoperation, no one behind the curtain, and this is real time. And we did not prepare this demo before. Why do you think seeing real-time demos is so rare for robotics? What the audience is seeing right now is not that common."
@tonyzzhao: "In order for a live demo to work, it's really stressing all parts of the system. From the bottom is the reliability of the hardware, then the software system, then the model. Because we're a full-stack company, we're able to do excellent work across all of them. We have these robots running pretty much every day, and it just keeps getting better as they practice."
@brexton: "So kids can bump into Memo, people can drop clothes, and it will correct itself just on the fly."
@tonyzzhao: "Act Two is the first robotic policy that can handle the diversity of homes in a way that is this reliable. You can see as I'm twisting it, if I twist it in again, it will keep doing it. So Memo has infinite patience."

Sunday Robotics CEO @tonyzzhao believes home robots only need to master a handful of chores before they become indispensable.
"What is the minimum number of tasks that a robot needs to do to justify its own existence so that people love having it in their homes? I actually think the list is pretty short. The tasks are pretty repetitive. You just need to learn it and just keep doing that over and over again, like folding shirts or loading dishwashers."
The cat’s out of the bag, but I officially joined @sundayrobotics last week as a mechanical engineer!
Sunday’s Memo is the best of AI: technology that gives people back their time so they can just live.
From the beginning, I was drawn in by Sunday’s hardware and design decisions. The robot prioritizes simplicity without sacrificing capability. The Skill Capture Glove lets memory developers produce high quality data that enables a tight data-to-execution loop already driving breakthroughs like our new robotics model, ACT-2. And Memo’s friendly, animated look makes it feel like a robot you’d welcome into your home.
In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve met so many talented individuals all focused on the goal of bringing these robots into your home. I’m grateful to be part of the team working to give you back your Sundays!
Introducing ACT-2 Preview, the world’s first robotics model that works in your home.
99% success rate, fully autonomous in unseen homes. Zero data from you.
To build home robots families can trust, we set the boundary before testing.
Laundry Solve:
- Unseen homes, garments, surfaces
- Zero home-specific data
We ran 785 autonomous attempts across 31 unseen environments. 99.1% success. Human-level quality.
I came from a world where I measured robotics research in days: collect hundreds of demonstrations, train, then watch the policy break as soon as the setup changed.
Since I joined Sunday, I’ve watched that loop compress dramatically.
ACT-2 can learn a new folding strategy from one demonstration, with just five minutes of fine-tuning, then transfer it to unseen garments and beds. What once took a week can now happen in an hour.
That’s the deeper impact of scaling pretraining: it doesn’t just produce a better policy. It produces a better learner.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE.
His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook.
Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.
Just saw the craziest emergent behavior I’ve ever seen in robotics. The team is absolutely losing it. We haven’t posted in a while… should we write it up?
