California-based robotics company Sunday Robotics on Dec. 23 released a new video about its official X-handle, showing the company's humanoid memo performing a variety of tasks with human-like dexterity.
The company announced the release of Memo on November 19, saying it was designed to automate repetitive household tasks. Capable of working 24/7, this humanoid robot frees humans from mundane tasks.
Hard-coded humanoids often fail to perform tasks when working with objects they cannot identify. They believe that it is almost impossible to perform actions that are not hard-coded.
To address this fundamental flaw, Sunday Robotics designed Notes to be human-like and intuitive, allowing you to learn from your surroundings rather than relying on code.
test human-like abilities
This video shows Mr. Memo performing the “pick up anything” test, dated December 22nd. This was published on the HouseBots YouTube channel.
Basket, tray, ladle, glass, screwdriver, wire: Humanoids performed and demonstrated basic pick-up tasks with objects of various shapes and sizes. Human-like dexterity.
According to Sunday Robotics' official website, the humanoid robot can do more than simply pick and place objects. You can clean the table and dishes, fold a pile of socks, do laundry, handle dishes, make an espresso, and more.
Take a look at the design
Memo, which is designed only up to the torso level, has two hands attached to the base platform that perform all the necessary roles. The robot has come a long way since last year, when it could only perform a single task: aligning shoes with just one hand.
Powered by cutting-edge AI and a growing skill library, Notes isn't limited to just a few tasks. It learns faster than any robot ever and continues to upgrade its capabilities.
The humanoid is equipped with the company's unique skill capture glove, which acts as a palm. Notes will learn all the actions that the glove performs. At its core, the robot extracts millions of human movements into an in-vehicle AI that helps it learn useful household skills.
This robot has a silicone shell design with no sharp edges and can be customized with personalized hats in different colors.
Although it's not yet on the market, the company plans to launch a beta program in late 2026, inviting a select few families to try Notes for free.
Is imitative learning the future of humanoids?
Will imitative learning be completely overshadowed and replaced by programmable robots? Probably not. However, it does define where each method belongs.
Imitation learning is gaining popularity as a way to train humanoid robots more easily than programming. This makes it ideal for messy, unpredictable environments such as homes, hospitals, retail stores, and general service roles, where every setting is different and flexibility is valued over perfection.
Programmable robots will continue to dominate in factories, warehouses, and precision industries where consistency, reliability, and safety are non-negotiable.
In the future, the two methods may coexist, rather than one replacing the other.
