So much alignment in how we think about robotics, and that shared philosophy is what brings Sunday’s ML team together. Excited to build with you!
Personal update: I've joined @sundayrobotics.
Two questions ran through my whole PhD: how to learn from scalable human data, and how to build general-purpose robots.
Trying to answer them convinced me of one thing: general-purpose robots will never come from better models alone. It takes tight iteration across data, hardware, model, control, and evaluation. Every loop you can shorten matters.
My first dinner with @tonyzzhao and @chichengcc turned into a four-hour conversation. I walked away realizing how much we saw eye to eye: scale the data, think full-stack, start from the problem you want to solve instead of the idea you want to win.
So getting to work at Sunday is a dream come true, a place to solve generalization with the full breadth of human data and system-level thinking, and keep chasing the questions I care most about.
After my first month in, two things stand out: Sunday’s full-stack team iterates unbelievably fast, and the energy when everyone is aligned on the same vision is electric. This speed and energy is exactly why what used to feel impossible now feels close.
Home robots, the frontier physical AI in the hands of ordinary people, were long seen as a distant dream . At Sunday, I watch this dream take shape every day. I'm convinced there's real research-market fit here: foundation models and home robots point toward the same north star, generalization, not specialization, because every home is different.
Excited for the zero-to-one moment ahead.
