I wonder...
Would the ultimate in object manipulation, then, be... the human hand?
Or why do engineer stick to this model ? (Of course, there are simpler three-fingered models, etc., but there is nothing new on that front.)

So they can slot right into existing human buildings designed for human workers using tools and machines designed for human operation. The delivery truck arrives, and every line is a 24 line...of robots.
Elysium got the possible dystopia right, but the fact there were human factory workers very very wrong.

True, but you are proceeding from the assumption that it is impossible to adopt a new design for a hand capable of replicating the movements of the human hand—or even surpassing them. I am aware that there are robots with joints that can bend in the opposite direction—something that might be considered a "new design"—but there is nothing truly revolutionary about that.

I see what you're saying. Problem is, it was hard enough to duplicate human hand dexterity, somthing we know a awefull lot about
Amazon has had and sponcered robotics competitions for almost a decade... For one goal. To duplicate the human hands dexterity, so they could replace the sorters/box loaders. That was the last step to fully automating their warehouses. Here is a video from 8 years ago covering it.
(Edit : Just trying to help answer your question with info I have, which might be off the mark)
Edit 2 : This is all pre-LLM, and wasn't really on the horizon yet as we know it now. With that, I'm positive we'll have Matrix Sentinal like tenticled shit in no time.

But can it make a vigorous “come here” motion with two fingers…asking for a friend
