D01
D01 is the humanoid manipulation platform in Sharpa's Dexa line, launched at IROS 2026. It is built around the company's view that manipulation, not locomotion, is the bottleneck holding general-purpose robots back, so the specification sheet leads with what the arms and skin can do rather than how the machine moves: two 7-DoF arms with human-like structure and 1:1 human-scale spherical wrist joints, Wave dexterous hands, 66 degrees of freedom in total, and a 5 kg rated payload in each arm at roughly a one-to-one arm payload-to-weight ratio. It is fast and precise for a machine of its class, with end-effector speeds above 10.5 m/s, plus or minus 0.2 mm repeatability and control at up to 1000 Hz, running on an NVIDIA Jetson Thor with 1000BASE-T Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6. Its distinctive sensing is a whole-body tactile E-skin: a four-layer skin with a 0.2 N force resolution, 10 mm spatial resolution and a 100 Hz sampling rate that Sharpa says is sensitive enough to register the light brush of a feather, alongside depth perception with a 74 dB dynamic range. The platform stands between 1,109 and 1,624 mm, weighs about 40 kg without its chassis and spans 1,478 mm across both arms with hands, and it ships with a native teleoperation system so it can be driven and taught directly.
