Sharpa

Dense tactile dexterous hands chosen by NVIDIA for its reference humanoid

Sharpa, founded in 2024 by former Hesai LiDAR co-founders and headquartered in Singapore with R&D and manufacturing in Shanghai, makes the SharpaWave hand featuring 22 degrees of freedom and a dense tactile array. The company gained notable industry validation when NVIDIA selected its hands for the Isaac GR00T reference humanoid — choosing Sharpa over the chassis maker's own hands.

Sharpa was founded in 2024 by co-founders who previously helped build Hesai, China's leading LiDAR company, bringing deep sensor and hardware-integration expertise to the dexterous-hand market. Operating with a Singapore headquarters and R&D plus manufacturing operations in Shanghai, the company developed the SharpaWave hand, which combines 22 degrees of freedom with a dense tactile array to provide rich contact perception alongside high dexterity. The most significant early signal of Sharpa's technology was NVIDIA's selection of SharpaWave hands for its Isaac GR00T reference humanoid, which is built on a Unitree chassis — a notable vote of confidence given that NVIDIA chose Sharpa's solution over the hands offered by the chassis maker itself. For a company barely a year old, that design win underscores the caliber of the founding team and the performance differentiation of the SharpaWave platform.
