"We are all getting busier by the day. And simple household chores and repetitive to-dos often slip through the cracks. But what if there were a robot that could work 24/7 to make our lives easier? This has been a long-time dream for most roboticists, yet home robots have not really reached a stage where they can be trusted, until now. However, this stands to change. At least that's what the first demonstration of the Memo robot by Mountain-View-based Sunday Robotics suggests."
"Standing 1.7 meters tall and weighing 170 lbs, Memo has a white torso and a friendly face. Instead of moving on legs, the robot is designed to move on a wheeled base. That could mean limited mobility, restricted to level surfaces, but Memo has a telescoping spine allowing the robot to reach up to 2.1 meters to handle tasks like reaching overhead cabinets with ease. The battery-powered robot boasts four hours of runtime, and it takes about an hour to fully charge."
Memo is a personal home robot designed to assist families with time-consuming household chores using homebuilt hardware and integrated AI assistance. The robot demonstrated how efficiently it can make a cup of espresso from start to finish and can carry out repetitive tasks such as uploading crockery to the dishwasher. Memo stands 1.7 meters tall, weighs 170 lbs, and moves on a wheeled base while using a telescoping spine to reach up to 2.1 meters. The battery provides about four hours of runtime and requires roughly an hour to fully charge. The design emphasizes deft handling and precise control for household tasks.
