+Assembly
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Environments based on 100 diverse assembly tasks, each involving the insertion of a plug into a socket. These tasks share a common configuration and differ by th geometry and properties of the parts.
+
+You can switch between tasks by specifying the corresponding asset ID. Available asset IDs include:
+
+'00004', '00007', '00014', '00015', '00016', '00021', '00028', '00030', '00032', '00042', '00062', '00074', '00077', '00078', '00081', '00083', '00103', '00110', '00117', '00133', '00138', '00141', '00143', '00163', '00175', '00186', '00187', '00190', '00192', '00210', '00211', '00213', '00255', '00256', '00271', '00293', '00296', '00301', '00308', '00318', '00319', '00320', '00329', '00340', '00345', '00346', '00360', '00388', '00410', '00417', '00422', '00426', '00437', '00444', '00446', '00470', '00471', '00480', '00486', '00499', '00506', '00514', '00537', '00553', '00559', '00581', '00597', '00614', '00615', '00638', '00648', '00649', '00652', '00659', '00681', '00686', '00700', '00703', '00726', '00731', '00741', '00755', '00768', '00783', '00831', '00855', '00860', '00863', '01026', '01029', '01036', '01041', '01053', '01079', '01092', '01102', '01125', '01129', '01132', '01136'.
+
+We provide environments for both disassembly and assembly.
+
+.. attention::
+
+  CUDA is required for running the Assembly environments.
+  Follow the below steps to install CUDA 12.8:
+
+  .. code-block:: bash
+
+      wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/12.8.0/local_installers/cuda_12.8.0_570.86.10_linux.run
+      sudo sh cuda_12.8.0_570.86.10_linux.run
+
+  For addition instructions and Windows installation, please refer to the `CUDA installation page <https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-12-8-0-download-archive>`_.
+
+* |disassembly-link|: The plug starts inserted in the socket. A low-level controller lifts th plug out and moves it to a random position. These trajectories serve as demonstrations for the reverse process, i.e., learning to assemble. To run disassembly for a specific task: ``./isaaclab.sh -p source/isaaclab_tasks/isaaclab_tasks/direct/assembly/run_disassembly_w_id.py --assembly_id=ASSEMBLY_ID``
+* |assembly-link|: The goal is to insert the plug into the socket. You can use this environment to train a policy via reinforcement learning or evaluate a pre-trained checkpoint.
+
+  * To train an assembly policy: ``./isaaclab.sh -p source/isaaclab_tasks/isaaclab_tasks/direct/assembly/run_w_id.py --assembly_id=ASSEMBLY_ID --train``
+  * To evaluate an assembly policy: ``./isaaclab.sh -p source/isaaclab_tasks/isaaclab_tasks/direct/assembly/run_w_id.py --assembly_id=ASSEMBLY_ID --checkpoint=CHECKPOINT --log_eval``
