Robotics just hit a dexterity milestone 🤯! Sharpa Robotics demonstrated autonomous dual-hand apple peeling using its new MoDE-VLA system. Using human-like dexterous hands with tactile sensing, the robot can feel contact and adjust its grip while rotating and peeling the apple. While the system achieved 30% success, the 73% peel completion rate shows robots are starting to master the fine, contact-rich manipulation needed for real world tasks.

A new dexterous hand is here. DexcelRobotics, a startup founded by a former core member of Tencent Robotics X, has launched its first product, the Apex Hand. The company claims it's the first in the industry capable of operating a cell phone with a single hand. The Apex Hand is a well-rounded performer, with a focus on real-world application. Here are its key specs: ► Degrees of Freedom: 21, which the founder notes is enough to replicate most human hand functions. ► Strength: A single-finger force of ~2.5kg and a vertical lifting capacity of ~30kg. ► Speed & Precision: A response time near human-level, with positioning accuracy of ≤0.1mm. ► Robustness: Can withstand unexpected impacts and maintain stability. ► Tactile: Features self-developed flexible electronic skin with a sub-millisecond communication delay and >1000Hz refresh rate. The founder explains that while academic research often focuses on single-point breakthroughs, a commercial product needs hardware stability, data handling, and model capabilities. The company’s full-stack development experience and modular design are key to bringing this technology to a broader market, starting with semi-structured industrial environments before reaching homes.

Today at Meta FAIR we’re announcing three new cutting-edge developments in robotics and touch perception — and releasing a collection of artifacts to empower the community to build on this work. Details on all of this new work ➡️ 1️⃣ Meta Sparsh is the first general-purpose encoder for vision-based tactile sensing that works across many tactile sensors and many tasks. Trained on 460K+ tactile images using self-supervised learning. 2️⃣ Meta Digit 360 is a breakthrough artificial fingertip-based tactile sensor, equipped with 18+ sensing features to deliver detailed touch data with human-level precision and touch-sensing capabilities. 3️⃣ Meta Digit Plexus is a standardized platform for robotic sensor connections and interactions. It provides a hardware-software solution to integrate tactile sensors on a single robot hand and enables seamless data collection, control and analysis over a single cable. The potential impact of expanding capabilities and components like these for the open source community ranges from medical research to supply chain, manufacturing and much more. We’re excited to continue this work with the broader community.

Touch alone isn’t enough. 🖐️ For robotics, tactile intelligence truly levels up when touch gains spatial meaning. At #ICRA2026, we dove into the core concept behind SaTA: Spatially-anchored Tactile Awareness for robust, dexterous manipulation. Read it here: The challenge is fundamental: a robot shouldn’t just register a touch, it needs to understand exactly where that contact occurs relative to its fingers, joints, and overall hand structure. This is the missing link that turns raw data into precise, real-time adjustments during manipulation. Why does this matter? Because the most complex part of any manipulation task happens when vision is at its least reliable, that final millimeter before insertion, sliding, gripping, or fine-tuning. At Sharpa, this is exactly why we’re building tactile hands and tactile AI in tandem. 🚀 #Sharpa #Robotics #EmbodiedAI #TactileIntelligence #ICRA2026 #DexterousManipulation 📷
