Could you build this?

No Spark-0 is a research vision-tactile-language-action model that needs a 1,000-hour tactile dataset collected with custom gloves, plus dexterous robot hardware and large-scale model training.

What it would actually take: Reproducing it requires a custom wearable tactile capture rig, teleoperation and motion-capture pipelines, and a multi-source pretraining mixture. Training a VLA model at this scale needs ML research expertise, many GPUs, and a dexterous robot hand for real-world evaluation.
