From Player Piano to Master Chef: Memo Learns Like a Human

For decades, robots have behaved like player pianos. Precise, repeatable, and impressive in controlled environments, but ultimately limited to performing only the exact actions they were programmed to execute. Give them a new object, a slightly different setup, or a novel task, and they quickly fall apart.

That approach is reaching its limit.

At Sunday Robotics, the team behind Memo is taking a fundamentally different path. Instead of treating robots as rigid machines that follow scripts, Memo is being trained more like a human apprentice.
