SharpaWave

Sharpa's human-hand-sized, 22-DOF dexterous hand with high-density vision-based tactile sensing on each fingertip.

SharpaWave is the flagship dexterous hand from Sharpa, a company founded in 2024, headquartered in Singapore with R&D and manufacturing in Shanghai. The hand matches an adult human hand 1:1 in size and has 22 actuated degrees of freedom; each fingertip integrates a miniature camera plus more than 1,000 tactile pixels, which the company calls a “Dynamic Tactile Array” (DTA), with a force resolution of 0.005 N and fingertip output force above 20 N, and joints that are backdrivable (an external force can push them, helping with impact resistance). It's aimed at embodied AI research and whole-robot integration, and ships with a ROS 2 package, a MuJoCo simulation model, and C++/Python interfaces. The company announced mass production on December 16, 2025.

ExampleA researcher can first train a dexterous-manipulation policy in MuJoCo using the official SharpaWave model, then transfer it to the real hand.
