The Chinese are working on that.

Xynova unveiled Flex 2, a next-gen dexterous robotic hand built for
humanoid robots.
It combines 23 degrees of freedom, adaptive grasping, slip detection, and
multimodal perception.
�� Robotic Dexterity Upgrade • Weighs only 400g • Features 23-DOF bionic
movement • Responds in milliseconds • Supports adaptive grasping and slip
detection • Can handle up to 12kg single-hand grasp loads • Built for
humanoid robots and embodied AI systems.

They have a 45-second video of two robot hands interacting. (Click to
watch).
This video may be too sexy for those of a nervous disposition.  ;)
