Most technology demands attention; Sunday builds the opposite technology that gives time back. Founded by Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi, the company tackles complex robotics challenges with a simple aim: freeing people from repetitive domestic tasks. Their breakthrough Skill Capture Glove enables robots to learn quickly from an expanding library, powering Memo, a fully autonomous home robot with remarkable dexterity.
The work/project/system by Moniker and Standard Projects reflects Memo’s distinct warmth and approachability: rounded corners and soft forms, a palette that echoes the product design, and subtle motion that mimics Memo’s compliant outer shell. The design system carries its technical side with equal conviction: dynamic data visualisations, detailed specifications, technical typography and a dark mode palette shift the tone from aspirational to engineered. The site follows suit, with cinematics of Memo working autonomously in real homes (establishing credibility and character in equal measure) while behind-the-scenes footage from the lab grounds everything in real science.
Highly engineered interactions, transitions, and animations mirror the precision of the product itself. Video, photography, and 3D were produced alongside the brand rather than after it, so every piece of content shares the same strategic foundation. Playful micro-interactions, considered art direction, and unhurried pacing let the product demonstrate itself. Nothing overshadows Memo; everything supports it.
