Task-Optimized vs Anthropomorphic Proof

Compliant Soft Gripper achieves passive mechanical envelopment around the Fragile Egg in 0.60s with 8W power draw. In contrast, 5-finger humanoid hands require 20 DoF and 12 actuators (45W draw), experiencing shear slip under 3.5N lateral disturbance due to point-contact friction limits.
