Software Ecosystem

AI / Model Approach	Vertically integrated full-stack AI trained on imitation learning via the Skill Capture Glove. Founded by researchers behind ALOHA, ACT (Action Chunking with Transformers), and Diffusion Policy. No third-party foundation model disclosed. According to Sunday Robotics.
Training Methodology	Large-scale human demonstration data collected from 500+ real U.S. households via patented Skill Capture Glove (~$400 wearable). Over 10 million household episodes collected. Memory Developers program — distributed data collection network of 2,000+ contributors. Data transfers directly into training pipeline due to kinematic alignment with robot hardware. According to Sunday Robotics and Bain Capital Ventures.
Developer Access	No public SDK or third-party developer platform. Closed, vertically integrated stack. Memory Developers program is a data contributor network, not a developer SDK. Founding Family Beta program (50 households) launching late 2026. According to Sunday Robotics.
Third-Party Integrations	None disclosed.
