Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping the Jev API in a Python MuJoCo simulation loop is feasible, tuning closed-loop drone flight dynamics and visual-servoing stabilization solely through an external 2.5Hz decision model requires specialized robotics control engineering.
What it would actually take: The system combines MuJoCo physics simulation (via Python/C++ bindings) with a low-level PID/attitude controller running at high frequency (e.g., 50-100Hz) while querying the Jev model at 2.5Hz for high-level visual waypoints. The challenging aspect is developing robust state estimation and safety fail-safes so latency and probabilistic model outputs do not cause catastrophic instability in flight.
