Could you build this?
Partial The web UI and episode recording viewer can be vibe-coded, but the framework requires deep integration with physics simulators (MuJoCo), robotic manipulation benchmarks (LIBERO), and low-level robot control loops.
What it would actually take: A complete system requires a Python runtime coupling MuJoCo physics simulation with vision-language-action (VLA) model inference (e.g., ACT, Diffusion Policy) and TCP trajectory control. The hard parts are real-time closed-loop simulation step management, exact sensor proprioception pipelines, and reproducible benchmark evaluations without data leakage. Building it requires expertise in robotic simulation, kinematics/dynamics, and robotic learning frameworks (like LeRobot).
