In this article, the Hexaglide manipulator, a parallel robot, is used for automating Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) assembly of through-hole components. Low-cost optical and tactile sensors facilitate accurate component referencing and part insertion. A heuristic algorithm based on image-based visual servoing and force control as well as Reinforcement Learning are demonstrated. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of Hexaglide for PCB assembly automation.
