    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for positions a wire contact. A sequence of images of a wire contact is generated while the wire contact moves from a first position to a second position. The sequence of images is generated by the camera system connected to the end effector and the wire contact is held by the end effector. Edges are detected in the sequence of images to form edge images. Background edges are removed from the edges in the edge images leaving contact edges in the edges for the wire contact to form a contact edge image. The wire contact is identified using the contact edges in the contact edge image. A pose of the wire contact is determined from the wire contact identified in the contact edge image.

    Abstract: A robot system includes a robot to which a screw tightening driver for screw tightening is attached as an end effector and a controller that controls the robot. The controller includes a first command generation module that generates a command for rotation of the screw tightening driver in accordance with a predetermined operation profile and a second command generation module that generates a command to move the screw tightening driver along a predetermined direction by displacement calculated in accordance with the command generated by the first command generation module.
