Description
The SharpaWave replicates human-hand size and proportions with an isomorphic design that mirrors natural hand structure. It offers 22 active degrees of freedom, giving each finger and the wrist flexible, human-like motion. Thanks to those joints, the hand can perform grasping, pinching, tool-handling and other complex manipulations. SharpaWave also integrates a high-resolution tactile sensing system — the Dynamic Tactile Array (DTA) — which gives its fingertips a fine sense of touch. That way the hand can detect subtle contact forces and adjust grip dynamically.

Moreover, SharpaWave delivers a rare balance of dexterity, strength and robustness. It claims fingertip output of more than 20 N and can open and close at a rate exceeding 4 gestures per second. Its durable construction supports over one million grip cycles without failure, and the joints are back-drivable to resist external impacts. These qualities — combined with its human-scale form and advanced tactile feedback — make SharpaWave suitable for real-world robotics tasks that demand both finesse and structural reliability, from tool use and object manipulation to repeated industrial operations.
