Sharpa × Dairy Queen

Sharpa is a Singapore-headquartered robotics company founded in late 2024 by the three co-founders of [Hesai Technology](/companies/hesai) — Li Yifan (CEO), Xiang Shaoqing (CTO), and Sun Kai (Chief Scientist). The company builds dexterous manipulation systems for embodied AI, including the [Sharpa Wave](/models/sharpa-wave) dexterous robotic hand (22 DoF, in mass production since October 2025) and the [Sharpa North](/models/sharpa-north) full-body [humanoid robot](/models?form-factor=humanoid) (67 DoF, debuted at CES 2026). Its proprietary CraftNet VTLA model fuses vision, touch, and language to power autonomous manipulation. In partnership with [NVIDIA](/companies/nvidia), Sharpa's Wave hands are integrated into the Isaac GR00T reference humanoid built on [Unitree Robotics](/companies/unitree-robotics)'s H2 Plus platform. The company has deployed its robot restaurant system at Dairy Queen locations in Shanghai, China.
