1. A method for automatic placement of a lens in a cartridge, the method comprising:
seizing, by a nozzle head of a lifting tool, the lens from a pick position of a platform based on an air flow through the nozzle head;
depositing, by the lifting tool, the lens at a delivery point in the cartridge by changing the air flow through the nozzle head;
determining, by at least one processor coupled to the lifting tool, a location of a haptic of the lens with respect to a feature of the cartridge; and
adjusting, by the lifting tool, the haptic from the location to a target orientation on the cartridge when the location of the haptic is determined to be misaligned with the feature.
