A method, system and computer program product are provided for aligning and inserting a wire contact within a target hole of a connector to facilitate the automated insertion of the wire ends of a wire bundle assembly into the wire contact insertion holes of a connector. Methods may include: obtaining captured images, from at least two image capture devices attached to an end-effector of a robot, of a wire gripper of the end-effector; causing the robot to advance the end-effector to move the wire contact within a predetermined distance of the connector; causing the robot to advance the end-effector to move the wire contact toward the connector a predetermined additional amount more; and identifying, based on movement of the wire contact the predetermined additional amount more, if alignment is correct from force feedback at the wire gripper.
