Still there are fundamental limitations. Holding a bowl full of liquid, a heavy jug with a rounded handle etc.

What would be the problem with a bowl of liquid?

The balancing there comes from the wrist joint, not the fingers. Obviously this device is supposed to be mounted on a wrist joint that can rotate (pitch+yaw). Wrist joints are pretty well-understood these days.

Rounded handle I don't see the problem unless the hole is too small for one of the fingers.

  • Holding a rounded handle with a rectangular profile slider is inherently unstable as it's extremely sensitive to the pinch point.

    And the bowl has a radius that make orthogonal grip impractical.
