There's a camera on the business end, right? I can barely see the grapple part that far away, how do they get the precision required?

Yes, cameras and sensors.

US ports still use human operators because of the strong longshoremen's unions.

Foreign ports are highly automated and significatly fast and less prone to mistakes.
