Could you build this?
No This is a physical industrial hardware controller designed to replace PLCs, requiring electrical engineering, firmware, and real-time industrial operating systems.
What it would actually take: Building Cortex AIC requires custom PCB design, industrial-grade compute modules, and ruggedized physical enclosures certified for factory environments. The software stack necessitates a real-time operating system (RTOS) or deterministic Linux kernel, drivers for industrial fieldbus protocols (Modbus, EtherCAT, PROFINET), an embedded process data historian, and a tailored web IDE. Successfully developing this product requires embedded systems engineers, electrical hardware designers, and industrial automation safety experts.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Horizontal yet.
