Sharpa

This is really cool an open-source tactile manipulation dataset for humanoid robots Real-robot tactile data is scarce. Sharpa has released SharpaDex v1.0 on Hugging Face: 28,993 real-robot teleoperated demonstrations across 59 bimanual…

End effector types for robots: 🇨🇳 Unitree Dex1-1 | 1 DoF 🇺🇸 Sunday Robotics Memo | 4 DoF 🇰🇷 Tesollo DELTO | 12 DoF 🇸🇬 Sharpa Wave | 22 DoF Grippers, 3 fingers or 5 fingers... The best choice depends on the task. Sunday reports…

A really cool competition that pushes the frontier of what's possible in embodied ai. This is a really hard task -- paper is unforgiving -- and no one nailed it but substantial progress was made. Excited to see what people can do next year…

My biggest takeaway from IROS was about hands and dexterity. It used to be so hard to do meaningful work with hands -- and it's still hard, these systems are fragile and expensive, but it's so, so much easier. Human-level dexterity for…

Dexterity is the frontier for robotics today Great writeup by @chris_j_paxton - that was my main takeaway from IROS as well https://t.co/dvt1X3b7QI

Some thoughts on a robotics conference: the research community increasingly is looking at enabling contact-rich manipulation with dexterous hands, and has the tools to do so https://t.co/zZhiEHLX49

🤖 Who is leading the race for humanoid dexterous hands in 2026? The competition is heating up, but there's no single winner. Different companies are leading in different areas: @Inspire_robots: Leading in disclosed shipment volume, with…

A robot hand that turns one page at a time Turning a single book page is weirdly hard. Slow down, feel the paper, peel one sheet ,miss and you grab five. UVTA is BIGAI, Sharpa and Shanghai Jiao Tong's visual–tactile–action model-- vision,…

We eyeballed where the arms went at IROS. It didn't matter. Mounting height did. A 1 cm error cuts success rates by something like 70%. @castorhat's recap covers what mattered for our π0.5 demo, what didn't, and the other site-unseen demos…

Interesting to think of this on terms of how flexibly one can create opposition. A good read https://t.co/FV3fzg0fMp

Boston Dynamics didn't have a booth at IROS 2026. It still took the week. @castorhat's recap from Pittsburgh covers a show floor crowded with hands, hand makers turning into data companies, and the site-unseen demos that held up ⤵️…

Field notes from IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh: a show floor full of dexterous hands, hand makers turning into data companies, and site-unseen demos that held up. https://t.co/76rYBC8l6B

DITTO-X makes teleoperation work both ways. You can control a dexterous robot hand, or let the robot move your hand to match its current state before takeover. That makes intervention smoother and turns corrections into new training data..…

A bidirectional teleoperation system for dexterous robot hands. It lets you control a robot hand, and the robot hand can also move your hand. When the robot makes a mistake, it first moves your hand to match its position. That way you can…

Sharpa North prepares a cocktail. It may not look that impressive at first... But a few details really stand out: ✶ Consistent whole-body retargeting ✶ Almost no noticeable latency ✶ Glove transfers force info clearly ✶ Delicate objects…

Humanoid robots have already surpassed humans in certain capabilities. The Sharpa D01 can autonomously, attentively, and agilely grasp soft cylindrical rods that are dropped at random. Human performance is also influenced by social…

Not every robot needs a human-like hand. 🤖🖐️ The end-effector is often designed around the job it needs to perform. 🇺🇸 Sunday Robotics | Unique gripper 🏠 Designed for home chores and fine manipulation 🇨🇳 Sharpa | Five-finger hand ✋…

In my consumer research and in talking to people who build robots everyone wants a robot that looks like them. Particularly in the hands. Then when building (or buying) reality sets in. Four fingers does pretty well. Costs 1/5th less. Is…

Atlas' four-finger hand surprised many. But different end-effectors are common. 🇺🇸 Sunday Robotics | Unique gripper 🔶 Built for home chores. 🔶 Easy to simulate and collect data with. 🔶 Still capable of fine manipulation. 🇨🇳 Sharpa |…

Robotico Live is back with the latest from across robotics. This week, AMD’s $8.2 billion acquisition of World Labs, Direct Drive Tech’s IPO, Amazon’s robotics expansion and more. @RachelCreates and @jess_xmaq break it all down. 00:24…

A robot that catches falling objects in real time. 👀🤖 Sharpa’s humanoid robot is demonstrating remarkably fast reaction and manipulation capabilities at IROS 2026 catching randomly falling objects before they hit the ground. This is the…

Impressive reaction time from the new @SharpaRobotics robot at IROS. Catching randomly falling foam cylinders. I did not do nearly this well https://t.co/ZACoh45V46

IROS 2026 @SharpaRobotics brought a fun challenge where visitors can try the same task as the robot. Watching this, I already know the robot would beat me. #IROS2026 #Robotics #PhysicalAI https://t.co/Heg9Tu5FhO https://t.co/WR8tvlHRX0

IROS 2026 One of the most fun robotics challenges at IROS 2026. @SharpaRobotics lets people try the same task as the robot which makes the hand control much easier to appreciate. Watching this, I’m pretty sure the robot would beat me too…

22-motor, 22-DOF hand at $6500 How does @UnitreeRobotics's Dex5-S hand compare with the @wuji_global Hand 2 and @SharpaRobotics SharpaWave? Unitree vs. Wuji vs. Sharpa - All 3 hands put one motor on each degree of freedom: 22, 20, 22 - All…

Robot hands are getting much more serious. Unitree’s Dex5-1 has 20 DoF, with 16 active joints and 4 coupled joints. It weighs 1.1 kg, reaches ±1 mm fingertip repeatability, 10 N fingertip force and runs control at 1000 Hz. The Dex5-1P…

Sharpa Robotics just dropped a new hand video and the level keeps going up. This is the Sharpa Wave running WM Craftnet on a human scale fivefinger hand with 22 active DoF. The policy combines wrist depth, tactile sensing, proprioception…

No training for every tool. No task-specific policy. Just one policy learning how to manipulate unfamiliar tools. 🤯🤖 Researchers have developed SimToolReal, a sim-to-real reinforcement learning framework for zero-shot dexterous tool…

Two humanoid robots, one household chore most people never think about. Apptronik’s Apollo 2 pulls the liner together and ties a trash bag using five-fingered hands. Google DeepMind tested this exact type of manipulation with Gemini…

Dexterous hands, different approaches: ✸ 1X NEO | quasi-direct tendon drive ✸ Sharpa Wave | proprietary actuators ✸ Linker L30 | tendon-driven ✸ Shadow Hand | tendon-driven https://t.co/VWqujXv98V

Sharpa’s North humanoid robot is now serving ice cream to real customers at a Dairy Queen store in Shanghai. It can prepare the ice cream, add toppings, and deliver orders using the store’s existing equipment and ingredients. The…

A generated video showed a robot how to grasp a jar. The interesting part came after the video. GALATEA uses Seedance 2.0 to generate manipulation clips, reconstructs the 3D motion of the hand and object, then tries to make that same…

الصناعة في مجال الروبوتات الشبيهة بالإنسان (Humanoid Robots) منقسمة حاليًا بين طريقتين لتصميم اليد: 1. اليد المدفوعة بالأوتار (Tendon-driven) الموتورات تكون في الساعد، والكابلات (مثل الأوتار في جسم الإنسان) تسحب الأصابع. المميزات: •الأصابع…
