Could you build this?

No Reimplementing 3D topological motion retargeting for hand kinematic models involves complex computational geometry, kinematics solvers, and 3D mesh deformation math.

What it would actually take: The stack involves PyTorch/JAX, PyTorch3D or Libigl, and custom kinematic solver layers to map high-degree-of-freedom hand poses (MANO model to robot/Wuji hands) while maintaining contact topology constraints and avoiding self-intersection. Requires graduate-level robotics and computer graphics expertise.
