Claiming that grasping an apple is an intrinsically more complex specialization than a ball without metrics is not credible. What are the measurable thresholds for grip force, precision, or surface variability that justify this hierarchy? Without a representative sample of manipulation tasks or a sample size (n) large enough, it's a generalization. If the goal is to manipulate small objects of regular shape in a production line, a ball can be a more relevant test than an apple.

It's true that autonomous mobility makes a real difference, but we don't know if the movement capability is just an added layer or if it changes the design of the arm itself. How many times has the mobile arm been tested in real conditions to verify that the precision of manipulation remains the same as a fixed arm?

L'idée qu'une main robotique démontrant sa capacité en attrapant une balle rouge puis en tenant une pomme représente une spécialisation plus avancée a du sens si l'on considère la variabilité de forme et la délicatesse d'un fruit par rapport à une sphère simple.
C'est une progression logique qui montre une adaptabilité accrue.
Cependant, cette hiérarchie est très spécifique au contexte présenté.
Si la balle était faite de verre ultra-fin ou devait être placée dans un mécanisme d'horlogerie avec une précision micrométrique, l'acte de tenir la balle pourrait en fait être plus complexe.
Par exemple, pour la récolte des mangues au Sénégal, la main robotique devrait gérer non seulement la délicatesse, mais aussi les formes irrégulières et le point de détachement.

The idea that manipulating a apple is universally superior to manipulating a ball is not a conclusion with a high probability of validity. The relevance of this specialization is very contextual, with a prior of about 20% for a stable hierarchy without more data. For example, if the goal is to sort small parts in an assembly plant, the ability to manipulate a ball could be much more critical and complex than that of an apple, making the first application more 'specialized.' We need to update our assessment based on the concrete requirements of the job.

Asserting that the BionicMobileAssistant is just a category of the Festo Bionic Handling Assistant overlooks the major failure of this comparison. The Bionic Handling Assistant is an arm that manipulates objects with precision, but it is stationary; it doesn't move by itself. The BionicMobileAssistant, on the other hand, is an autonomous mobile system with a ballbot and an arm, designed to move actively in changing production environments, which is a fundamental feature that the other lacks. Ignoring this capacity for autonomous mobility makes this hierarchy quite shaky, as if saying that an electric scooter is just a variant of a handlebar.

The idea that a physical architecture like that of Festo could "reduce the fragmentation" of vision systems without clear metrics is an assertion that requires evidence.
Without knowing the n of tests or the p-value demonstrating this unification, it remains a subjective observation.
How do we measure the "fragmentation" of a vision system before and after integrating a robotic arm? For example, if the vision system uses sensors from different brands with incompatible data formats, the arm, no matter how flexible, won't make them more consistent.
