In this episode we speak with Henry Yu, Founding Software Engineer at Sunday Robotics, about building AI powered home robots designed to automate everyday tasks. Henry shares how he moved from coding projects and robotics competitions into startups and large scale software systems before joining Sunday during its earliest stage. He explains why robotics requires engineers from multiple disciplines and how curiosity, side projects, and continuous learning shaped his career.

The conversation explores the biggest challenge in robotics today: real world manipulation data. Henry explains how Sunday approaches this problem with its skill capture gloves, which collect large volumes of real world training data directly from human activity in home environments.

They also discuss generalisation, safety in domestic robotics, AI driven learning systems, and how startups iterate quickly across hardware, software, and data pipelines to deploy robots in real homes.
