Sharpa is an AI robotics company dedicated to developing ultra-high performance robots and core components. We Manufacture Time by Making Robots Useful.
We believe we’re the first robotics company to demonstrate a robot peeling an apple with dual dexterous human-like hands. This breakthrough closes a key gap in robotics, achieving bimanual, contact-rich manipulation and moving far beyond the limits of simple grippers. 🧵↓ Today’s AI models (VLMs) are excellent at perception but struggle with action. Controlling high-degree-of-freedom hands for tasks like this is incredibly complex, and precise finger-level teleoperation is nearly impossible for humans. Our first step was a shared-autonomy system: rather than controlling every finger, the operator triggers pre-learned skills like a “rotate apple or tennis ball” primitive via a keyboard press or pedal. This makes scalable data collection and RL training possible. How does the AI manage this? We created "MoDE-VLA" (Mixture of Dexterous Experts). It fuses vision, language, force, and touch data by using a team of specialist "experts," making control in high-dimensional spaces stable and effective. The combination of these two innovations allows for seamless, contact-rich manipulation. The human provides high-level guidance, and the robot executes the complex in-hand coordination required. This work paves the way for robots that can safely handle delicate tasks in human environments.

We’re grateful to be shaping the robotics ecosystem with Sharpa Wave, empowering partners with dexterous robotic hands. @GalbotRobotics is integrating our hands into their robot bodies, while @ManusMeta is using Sharpa Wave with NVIDIA Isaac Sim for teleoperation and simulation - spotlighting our collaboration in their NVIDIA presentation. We’re excited to continue building partnerships around dexterity and tactile intelligence.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting the one and only Scott Walter @GoingBallistic5 at Sharpa. During his visit, he met with our VP of GTM, Alicia Veneziani @AliciaV_0726 and our technical team, who walked him through our tactile-driven approach to dexterous manipulation. He controlled the Sharpa Wave using Manus gloves, even playing catch in real time! He also beat our autonomous dealer robot at blackjack, making a perfect 21!
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
