Very cool. Good touch sensors are one of the biggest bottlenecks in manipulation today - nearly everything commercially available is terrible and extremely expensive. I’ve only watched the video here, but I wonder how separable cable manipulation is from the actual insertion task. At some point, there’s a transition between the connector and the flexible cable that, for many kinds of connectors, requires a transition in manipulation strategy. Think about how you have to adjust your grip from the wire to the jack when you plug in a Cat6 cable. I bring this up because the headphone jack example there isn’t really demonstrative of this difficult modality transition dynamic. Great work nevertheless!
