Key challenges include robust perception to locate a reflective/transparent glass in varying lighting, precise grasp planning to handle slippery surfaces without excessive force, compliant control to prevent crushing or spilling, and coordinating arm trajectory for a stable, spill-free lift despite the liquid's dynamic sloshing, all in real-world, unstructured environments.
