StabBot: Robotic Pipe Stabbing with Learned Stereo Vision and Residual Reinforcement Learning

The StabBot robotic stabbing system uses a pendulum Kalman filter to track pipe joints in stereo images, approaches at matched speed, and confirms the final few millimeters by touch. In 200 randomized jobs, StabBot completed every stab, versus 74% for a conventional fixed guide; median contact speed fell from 18.4 cm/s to 2.3 cm/s, and median peak head-pipe force fell from 11.3 kN to 1.4 kN.
