SharpaWave Robotic Hand Wins CES 2026 Innovation Award

November 13, 2025
Singapore-based AI robotics company Sharpa has received a CES 2026 Innovation Award for its robotic hand, SharpaWave, recognized for its dexterity and tactile sensing technology.

Sharpa, a Singapore-based AI robotics company, announced in a press release that its robotic hand SharpaWave has been named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Robotics category.

SharpaWave is a human-scale robotic hand with 22 active degrees of freedom and the company’s Dynamic Tactile Array technology. It uses visuo-tactile sensing, integrating miniature cameras and over 1,000 tactile pixels in each fingertip to detect force with 0.005 newton precision. The system supports six-dimensional force detection for adaptive grip control and slip prevention.

The robotic hand was previously demonstrated at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025), performing tasks such as tactile sensing, autonomous photo capture, and playing blackjack with attendees. Sharpa plans to showcase SharpaWave and other robotics innovations at CES 2026, held January 6–9 in Las Vegas.
