Foxconn demo: robot busbar assembly combining FoundationPose vision and torque feedback

A robot busbar assembly demo at a Foxconn booth in Taiwan: busbars are rigid metal conductors in electrical and battery systems with tight fits that easily jam or scratch. The robot combines two senses — NVIDIA Robotics' FoundationPose estimates the busbar's 3D pose for grasping and insertion, while real-time torque feedback tracks contact forces so it can ease off before jamming. Vision gets the gripper to the right spot; the last millimeters rely on force control.
