Why GPU assembly still breaks most robot stacks

The post points to a paper and source code about a manipulation system aimed at a very specific industrial bottleneck: assembling GPUs.
It argues that most robot manipulation stacks still fail on millimeter-scale contact tasks, so they end up falling back to humans. Standard industrial robots are fine for rigid, flat SMT-line parts, but not for this kind of delicate assembly work.
