Peg-in-Hole

The canonical contact-rich assembly task where a cylindrical peg must be inserted into a hole with tight clearance (often <1mm). Successful insertion requires search strategies (spiral, compliance-based), force sensing, and appropriate compliance control. Peg-in-hole is a standard benchmark for force control, impedance control, and RL-based assembly policies.
