Could you build this?

No This project requires custom underwater robotics hardware design, waterproofing, teleoperation kinematics, and empirical bimanual robot learning policies (ACT, Diffusion Policy).

What it would actually take: Building ULOHA requires designing and manufacturing custom waterproof 6-DOF robotic arms with sealed actuators and sensors capable of handling water pressure and hydrodynamic forces. On the software side, it integrates ROS 2/LeRobot teleoperation pipelines, multi-camera synchronization under refraction/turbidity, and imitation learning models (Diffusion Policy/ACT) fine-tuned for underwater fluid dynamics.
