Fifteen Minutes of Installer Help Taught the Robot the Tight Fit
With two millimeters of clearance, the simulated assembly pipeline reached 100% seating after 12–15 minutes of takeover supervision.
Summary
With two millimeters of clearance, the simulated assembly pipeline reached 100% seating after 12–15 minutes of takeover supervision.
Precision construction assembly depends on tacit installer knowledge at contact and failure boundaries. This framework starts with teleoperated demonstrations, then records sparse binary takeovers and acceptance-aligned terminal rewards while a temporally abstract policy learns recovery maneuvers. In stress tests with two millimeters of clearance, randomized pose and friction, the simulated system reached 100% autonomous seating after 12–15 minutes of cumulative installer supervision over three hours of online training; the 95% milestone arrived in about 0.5 and 1.5 hours across two experiments. Physical-site validation remains open.
