Sunday Robotics says its robot can fold clothes it has never seen in unfamiliar homes

Sunday Robotics' Memo home robot. Sunday Robotics Sunday says Memo folded laundry in unfamiliar homes with a success rate above 99%. Its ACT-2 AI model can apply lessons learned in one setting to new homes and garments. The $1.15 billion startup plans to place Memo in homes through a beta this fall. In the race to bring autonomous robots into the home , Sunday Robotics says it has solved one of the field's hardest problems: getting a robot to work in homes and handle objects it has never seen before. On Thursday, the Bay Area-based startup unveiled ACT-2, a new AI model that powers Memo, its wheeled home robot. Sunday said that Memo folded laundry successfully more than 99% of the time when tested in unfamiliar homes, and on garments it had not been specifically trained to handle.
