Abstract: In an example, a method for assembly of a modular cable connector includes, at an end effector of a robotic insertion system, holding a cable insert module for insertion into a module slot of a module retainer. Two or more images are captured of the module retainer. Image processing is performed to identify a segmented image region corresponding to the module retainer and a virtual plane parallel to a face of the module retainer. The end effector is moved to an alignment pose determined based, at least in part, on the segmented image region and the virtual plane. The end effector is moved from the alignment pose toward an insertion pose. Upon insertion of the cable insert module into the module slot of the module retainer, the cable insert module is released from the end effector.
