A positioning system is provided for insertions and placements with increased accuracy and precision for the placement and insertion of components into elements. The system may utilize one or more sensors to provide individual images or data for each individual insertion of components into elements. The system may use known information to compare the individual images or data to provide increased accuracy and precision for insertion of components into elements.

System and method for automated movement of a robotic arm

A system includes a first sensor having a fixed location relative to a workspace, a second sensor, at least one robotic manipulator coupled to a manipulation tool, and a control system in communication with the at least one robotic manipulator. The control system is configured to determine a location of a workpiece in the workspace based on first sensor data from the first sensor and a three-dimensional (3D) model corresponding to the workpiece. The control system is configured to map a set of 2D coordinates from a second 2D image from the second sensor to a set of 3D coordinates based on the location, and to generate one or more control signals for the at least one robotic manipulator based on the set of 3D coordinates.
