Hey @Lychee, I've been having issues lately with using rigid body assets in the IsaacLab RL environment. The IsaacSim tutorials cover the creation of custom rigidbody USDs and the IsaacLab tutorials explain how to import them but as far as I can tell there is no complete tutorial on taking custom STL/OBJs and importing them to the RL environment.

Looking forward to the custom robot setup and if possible any UR robot would be good.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the custom robot creation process.

I really appreciate your work on YouTube! I would be very interested in a guide on how to configure a custom cartpole—perhaps even with your own CAD files and a custom URDF. I believe a cartpole would be perfect as a first project with a real "robot" and an excellent opportunity to learn a lot, especially about real-to-sim transfer. Keep up the great work!
