Sharpa Integrates Wave Robot Hands into NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Humanoid Reference Design

Sharpa announced in a press release that the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot now includes its Wave tactile five-finger hands, enabling dexterous manipulation in a validated reference design. The system combines hardware, tactile sensing, and AI compute to help developers and researchers build and deploy robot skills more efficiently.

The reference robot integrates a Unitree H2 Plus humanoid body with Sharpa Wave hands and an onboard NVIDIA Jetson Thor module running the Isaac GR00T development platform. This configuration offers 75 total degrees of freedom and a digital tactile array exceeding 1,000 pixels per fingertip, with 0.02 newton pressure sensitivity.

With the Wave hands mounted on the H2 Plus and simulated within NVIDIA's Isaac platform, developers can capture demonstration data, train dexterous manipulation policies in simulation, and deploy them in real time using Jetson hardware. The unified setup reduces setup time and supports both simulation and real-world validation for humanoid research.

Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Singapore, Sharpa focuses on developing dexterous robotic systems for general-purpose applications, with manufacturing in Shanghai and operations in Mountain View, USA.
