Could you build this?

No Building a physics-grounded multi-motion retargeting system for dexterous robotic hands requires deep academic expertise in reinforcement learning, contact mechanics, and robotic simulation.

What it would actually take: Built on high-performance physics simulators like Isaac Gym or MuJoCo paired with PyTorch for reinforcement learning (such as FlashSAC). The critical difficulty is formulating multi-reference tracking policies that stably resolve complex geometric hand-object contact dynamics and signed-distance fields across varied 3D objects without diverging. This demands advanced robotics and RL research expertise along with substantial GPU compute infrastructure.
