Force feedback correction for cable wire insertion

A method for assembly of a cable connector includes, an end effector affixed to an articulated robot arm of a robotic insertion system, holding a cable wire for insertion into an insertion cavity of a connector housing. The articulated robot arm is controlled to move the cable wire toward a preliminary insertion pose predicted to correspond to insertion of the cable wire into the insertion cavity. Using a force sensor, the robotic insertion system detects that a magnitude of an insertion force vector exceeds an insertion force threshold, indicating misalignment of the cable wire relative to the insertion cavity. The articulated robot arm is controlled to move the cable wire toward a corrected insertion pose determined based at least in part on the insertion force vector, wherein the preliminary insertion pose and the corrected insertion pose differ by a pose adjustment.
