Physical AI for Precise Insertion

Physical AI that performs precise, force-sensitive insertion tasks for wires, connectors, pins, and harnesses, with the compliance and accuracy fixed automation can't match.

/ THE PROBLEM

Insertion Demands Precision and Compliance

  • Insertion requires tight tolerances and force control, but the components involved, bearings, wires, cables, connectors, are flexible and vary in position every cycle.
  • Fixed tooling struggles with that variability, leaving insertion manual, slow, and inconsistent.

The Solution

Our Physical AI Platform embeds insertion skills directly from human demonstrations and applies compliant, real-time force-aware control to handle the variability flexible components introduce.

Learns by Demonstration

Teach a new connector, bearing, wire, or harness insertion through demonstration where programming insertion motion is impossible.

Adapts to Flexible, Variable Components

Wires, bearings,cables, and connectors are handled with compliant, force-sensitive control, not rigid tooling.

Precise, Repeatable Insertion

Parts are seated to the correct depth, orientation, and force, every cycle.

FAQ

Automated insertion uses robotics to place and seat components, such as wires, bearings, connectors, or pins, to a precise depth, orientation, and force.

It learns insertion skills from human demonstration and applies compliant, realtime force-aware control to handle flexible, variable components.

Policies seat components to the correct depth, orientation, and force on every cycle in submillimeter precision.

Yes. Physical AI solutions can interface and integrate with existing production and material handling systems.
