"""The base interface class for assets.
An asset corresponds to any physics-enabled object that can be spawned in the simulation. These include
rigid objects, articulated objects, deformable objects etc. The core functionality of an asset is to
provide a set of buffers that can be used to interact with the simulator. The buffers are updated
by the asset class and can be written into the simulator using the their respective ``write`` methods.
This allows a convenient way to perform post-processing operations on the buffers before writing them
into the simulator and obtaining the corresponding simulation results.
The class handles both the spawning of the asset into the USD stage as well as initialization of necessary
physics handles to interact with the asset. Upon construction of the asset instance, the prim corresponding
to the asset is spawned into the USD stage if the spawn configuration is not None. The spawn configuration
is defined in the :attr:`AssetBaseCfg.spawn` attribute. In case the configured :attr:`AssetBaseCfg.prim_path`
is an expression, then the prim is spawned at all the matching paths. Otherwise, a single prim is spawned
at the configured path. For more information on the spawn configuration, see the
:mod:`omni.isaac.orbit.sim.spawners` module.
Unlike Isaac Sim interface, where one usually needs to call the
:meth:`omni.isaac.core.prims.XFormPrimView.initialize` method to initialize the PhysX handles, the asset
class automatically initializes and invalidates the PhysX handles when the stage is played/stopped. This
is done by registering callbacks for the stage play/stop events.
Additionally, the class registers a callback for debug visualization of the asset if a debug visualization
is implemented in the asset class. This can be enabled by setting the :attr:`AssetBaseCfg.debug_vis` attribute
to True. The debug visualization is implemented through the :meth:`_set_debug_vis_impl` and
:meth:`_debug_vis_callback` methods.
