Who We Are
Sunday Robotics
Company Introduction
DevelopmentInventing techniques that define the field todayInventing techniques that define the field todayTony earned his B.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley in 2021, and dropped out of his Stanford CS PhD in 2024. He was advised by renowned researchers Sergey Levine and Chelsea Finn, and his research on robotic fine manipulation tasks led to the widely recognized ALOHA project, which helped establish a new paradigm for imitation learning in robotics. Tony’s decision to leave academia was driven by the conviction that robotics research had matured enough to be translated into real-world impact. Before founding Sunday, he worked at Google DeepMind and Tesla Autopilot. Today, he leads a team of 140+ engineers, designers, and researchers in Silicon Valley, united by the mission of giving people their time back for the things that matter most. He credits the team’s breakthroughs to one core value: persistence. Cheng earned his B.S. in CS from the University of Michigan and PhD in CS from Columbia University, advised by Shuran Song. A leading robotics researcher, he invented Diffusion Policy, a seminal work that has been widely adopted across industry and academia. His research has earned two Best Paper Awards and two Best Systems Paper Finalist honors at top international conferences. Cheng has a mind that cannot rest; if you don’t find him in the lab, he’s busy fixing a vintage polaroid camera or DIYing Invisalign and sparkling water at home.
