Sharpa

Watch as Sharpa North assembles a computer autonomously! From precise positioning to screwing and wire clipping, North executes complex, contact-rich tasks powered by tactile feedback. Dexterous hands + tactile AI are what make real-world task execution possible. This is the shift from simple automation to real-world robotics. #SharpaRobotics

@DJiafei Congratulations!👏

4 years have been simply amazing! I’m happy to share that I have successfully defended my PhD! Thank you to everyone who came to support me, and most importantly, to my thesis committee, advisors, collaborators, friends, and family for being part of this journey.

@micoolcho It was great to have you with us! 😃

Incredible robotic ping pong and paper windmill folding demo from the @SharpaRobotics team; tks for showing me around!

It’s been a massive week for embodied AI foundation models: the pace of this field is truly staggering. Throwing it back to the SimToolReal work by @kushalk_ and @tylerlum23 (Cornell & Stanford labs). In February, they achieved zero-shot tool manipulation across 24 tasks using a single RL policy and a robotic arm fitted with the SharpaWave hand. Watching the robot nail these high-speed in-hand rotations is incredible. The precision is especially impressive when you consider the policy was never trained on these specific objects or tasks. This is what solving the manipulation bottleneck looks like. ⚡️

@GalbotRobotics Nothing better than Sharpa hands to cook a burger just right! Joke aside, it's great to see the ecosystem coming up with new recipes to scale robot learning👍

Introducing LDA, a latent world action foundation model that, for the first time, unifies the utilization of heterogeneous embodied data across simulation and reality, humans and robots, and varying levels of action quality and annotation. By breaking long-standing data silos in embodied intelligence, LDA enables the field, much like GPT did for language, to benefit continuously from scaling data, marking the transition into a new era of scalable learning. #Galbot #Robotics #Innovation #AI #Technology #Humanoid #WorldModel

The movements look very fluid! Excellent operator/Wave symbiosis!

Congrats to Nvidia’s team on the new foundation model. Manipulation seringues is hard! Happy for to see that the Waves handle the work well!

Then we compromised the card deck integrity. He still focuses on making the reading right, but let's face it, he wouldn't be a good professional blackjack dealer 😂

Teasing North robot, part 2: This time, we're messing with the card deck. Regardless, he doesn't deviate from the "mission" :)

The real world is messy. Adapting to changing conditions will make the difference between a demo and a product. Getting ready!

This isn’t hard-coded. North feels the disturbance, re-plans and executes in real-time.

Teasing North on autonomous pinwheel assembly. High precision, zero ego. It stays focused on the task😎

Our VP of GTM & President of Europe Alicia Veneziani sat down with NBC to tackle the most important question in robotics: what makes a robot useful? The key is the hand, the most generalist tool ever built for daily life. What would you want your Sharpa robot to help with?

Sharpa is tackling general-purpose robotics from the ground up, starting where it's hardest: the hand. If you believe the best way to manufacture time is to give robots the ability to do real work, we're hiring. 🦾 sharpa.com/pages/careers #HumanoidRobotics #NVIDIAGTC #simtoreal #PhysicalAI

Feeling something slip and correcting it in 0.02 seconds. Humans do it without thinking. Robots couldn't. Until now. Our VP of Research presented CraftNet at GTC 2026, our system that layers tactile AI directly onto Vision-Language-Action models, giving robots a genuine sense of touch and the ability to adapt in real time during contact. Jensen Huang's keynote recognized our work directly. NVIDIA demonstrated Sharpa Wave within Isaac Lab, GR00T and TacMap to bridge the sim-to-real gap in simulation training. Touch is the sense we take for granted the most. You've never once thought about how your fingers adjust handing someone a full cup of coffee. Robots have to learn that from scratch. We gave robots a sense of touch. What comes next?

@BarrakAli Let’s see if we can make it to Vegas!

@SharpaRobotics A humanoid dealing blackjack is the friendliest possible way to normalize robots in everyday spaces.

Blackjack with our humanoid North is still a fan favorite!

@TheHumanoidHub Glad to have you!

It was fun to get some hands-on time with the @SharpaRobotics at their Mountain View office.

@IlirAliu_ @TheHumanoidHub It was great to meet both of you!

@TheHumanoidHub @SharpaRobotics Impressive tech!

Proud to host two robotics evangelists in the Sharpa office and see them engage hands-on with our robotic ecosystem. @IlirAliu_ and @TheHumanoidHub spent time teleoperating our Sharpa Wave 22-DoF dexterous hand and enjoyed playing blackjack with our humanoid robot North experiencing firsthand what coordinated manipulation and real-time control feel like in practice. Thanks for the visit, the energy, and for continuing to push the robotics ecosystem forward.
