Here’s the windmill assembly demo we showed at CES 2026 — the one no one saw coming. North executes a fully autonomous, long-horizon dexterous sequence with sustained hand–eye–tactile coordination and assembly-level precision enabled by tactile feedback. It’s also robust to disturbance: you can reposition the objects, and North will still identify them and recover the task. This is powered by CraftNet (VTLA) — using tactile feedback to continuously fine-tune the last-millimeter interaction, enabling reliable execution across 30+ steps.

@SharpaRobotics Look this is amazing, but the fact that you didn't include the money shot of the assembled windmill spinning means that you're missing some careful marketing eyes.

@SharpaRobotics Let me know if you want to try to solve my "humanoid robot Turing tests", which involve some basic household tasks (identifying, inverting, pairing and folding a mixed collection of socks, preparing beef wellington, etc)

@SharpaRobotics Whoa, North just crushed that windmill assembly autonomous, disturbance-proof, and nailing 30+ steps with tactile smarts. CraftNet is a beast! This is the future of robotics right here. 🚀 Who's ready for mass production?

@SharpaRobotics Awesome. Makes the dancing robots look pretty silly.

@SharpaRobotics This is next-level cool! The combination of tactile feedback and robust object handling sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. Can't wait to see how this tech revolutionizes assembly lines and beyond!

@SharpaRobotics This feels less like a demo and more like a glimpse of robots doing actual industrial tasks. How close is this to running outside of controlled lab environments?

@SharpaRobotics How many sensors does it have?

@SharpaRobotics Excellent Share

@SharpaRobotics great work! tactile + sim feedback loop makes micro adjustments on hands in a short time possible

@SharpaRobotics Seriously incredible. Join me on Spaces with my co-host, @HelloBenWhite

@SharpaRobotics very cool

@SharpaRobotics Windmill assembly at CES 2026, tactile feedback doing what half of robotics still promises

@SharpaRobotics You're on the right track with VLTA - but we're still going to need more than vision at the "reasoning" level. It's a sensor fusion problem there as well. Touch/tactile is needed for object identification and orientation as well (and proprioception).

@SharpaRobotics What a demo! Wasn't expecting to see a TVLA doing such a hard task so soon!

@SharpaRobotics 👏🏾👏🏾

@SharpaRobotics Wow this is really good, nice to see actual work being done instead of dancing.

@SharpaRobotics Origami . Com 🤝💯🦾

@SharpaRobotics Great work!

@SharpaRobotics Does it have lidar

@SharpaRobotics Let me say. This is amazing. But I have a real doubt. Those pinwheels are getting folded too much, so they get damaged for their functionality. Was that because this wasn't taken into account during training? 🤔🧐

@SharpaRobotics Robots replacing human workers fast

@SharpaRobotics 👍

@SharpaRobotics This demo is mind-blowing! North's ability to recover from disturbances while assembling with such precision via tactile feedback is a game-changer for robotics. Can't wait to see CraftNet in more real-world apps. What's the timeline for broader deployment? #SharpaNorth #CES2026

@SharpaRobotics My only question is will North send the privacy data back to CHINA?

@SharpaRobotics Wild demo, but let’s be real—autonomous assembly’s cool till someone hacks the code.

@SharpaRobotics The robots hands represent the "last mile" of value delivery. The robot can perform the gross locationing and positioning, but the hands are the unsung heroes of the rot value stack. Nice job!

@SharpaRobotics it is called: tech big bang
