Could you build this?
No Real-time robotics control stacks for Franka Emika Panda arms require real-time Linux kernels (PREEMPT_RT), low-level 1kHz joint impedance/torque controllers, and hardware VR/teleoperation device calibration.
What it would actually take: This stack requires a Linux environment configured with real-time PREEMPT_RT patches interfacing via libfranka (C++ 1kHz control loop), hardware driver integrations for GELLO/VR controllers, kinematics/dynamics solvers (Pinocchio), and an imitation learning pipeline (Diffusion Policy / ACT). Developing it requires robotics systems engineering, hardware-in-the-loop debugging, and deep expertise in robot dynamics and safety protocols.
