Robotic handling of delicate fruit benefits from compliant contact and quantitative sensing of the mechanical interaction at the end-effector. This study investigates an optoelectronic soft suction cup with a kiwifruit-specific bicomponent design for estimating interaction forces during contact with real fruit. During known-contact intervals, the optical signals accurately estimate interaction force on fruits excluded from model training: the best shallow network achieves grouped out-of-fold pooled R-squared = 0.968 +/- 0.005 (MAE = 0.138 N), with a median per-fruit held-out R-squared = 0.973 (MAE = 0.134 N). A simple monotonic mapping from the mean optical response alone achieves R-squared = 0.925 +/- 0.005, showing that substantial force-related information is already present in the optical response. Leave-one-collection-day-out validation remains strong (R-squared = 0.955 +/- 0.031), supporting robustness across acquisition sessions. As an exploratory secondary analysis, binary Soft/Firm classification from compression-test reference labels achieves moderate balanced accuracy (approximately 0.705) under grouped held-out-fruit validation, while finer three-class grading shows limited performance.
