Grasping an apple with a robotic hand is probably at 75% a new conditional adaptation rather than a simple specialization of grasping a ball. The physical properties of an apple, such as its variable texture or irregular shape, introduce engineering constraints that the ball does not have, changing the fundamental problem. If the robot encounters a damaged or soft apple, the failure probability without major adjustments is about 90%. We need to reconsider our priority on the ease of transferability of these robotic skills.
