Sunday Robotics

Sunday Robotics is a humanoid robotics company building general-purpose robots designed for industrial and consumer applications. Founded by veterans from Tesla's Optimus programme, Boston Dynamics, and Google X, the company is tackling one of the most complex challenges in robotics: creating robots that can perform diverse physical tasks with minimal human oversight. The company's core approach centres on foundation models for robotics, combining vision, language, and action (VLA) to create robots that can understand instructions and adapt to new environments. This matches the dominant direction in robotics research today, pursued by competitors like Physical Intelligence and Figure. Sunday Robotics is currently at Series A stage with backing from prominent venture investors including Conviction. The company is pre-commercial but has demonstrated significant technical progress. Initial focus is industrial automation, warehousing, and manufacturing, with consumer applications planned further out. They operate through B2B partnerships and research contracts rather than direct-to-customer sales.
