And in the midst of the great advance of humanoids, companies have already gone ahead and created special hands for these machines, Sharpa Robotics begins the development of the SharpWave, a hand built to bring machines closer to human tactile sensitivity.

The news comes after confirmation that mass production began accompanied by a demonstration video that reignited interest seen at events such as ICRA 2025. At the center of this promise is the Dynamic Tactile Array, a patented system powered by neural networks capable of detecting pressures from 5 thousandths of a Newton to around 30 N.

This touch matrix operates with a refresh rate of 180 frames per second and spatial resolution below 1 mm, allowing something rare, to recognize textures in real time and measure force in six dimensions. SharpWave features 22 degrees of freedom in an isomorphic architecture that reflects human biomechanics.

The company maintains that the hand combines strength and speed in an unusual way, delivering more than 20 Newton to the tips of the fingers and executing gestures above 4 Hz. In an increasingly competitive sector, these choices reveal an engineering philosophy focused on absolute performance, contrasting with competitors such as the WJI Hand, lighter and with 22 degrees of freedom, designed to prioritize cost and mass reduction with maximum force of 15 Newton.

To facilitate integration, Sharpa provides a complete ecosystem, comprising cross-platform tools, the Sharp Pilot application and simulation models for environments such as Mojoco and Ross, all connected by a standard Ethernet interface. Now with the first units arriving in laboratories, researchers will have the opportunity to confront the company's promises with the reality of daily use.

And as if it were not enough for robots to gain new hands, another company, Media, decided to create a robot that seems to have been inspired by Google from the video game Mortal Kombat. The humanoid machine has six arms and the project combines the familiar head and torso, but mounts everything on a chassis with wheels and legs to break the physical limit of a worker.

The philosophy is explicit, abandon morphological limitation and adopt mechanics that maximize efficiency where humans simply cannot achieve, the coordination between upper and lower arms creates a rare dynamic, allowing heavy components to be supported while fine tasks occur simultaneously supported by a system of 360º rotation and stable vertical elevation.

There it is. For you who comment that humanoids should not be equal to us, receive this six-armed one, a robo sentaur should soon emerge as well.
