Could you build this?

No Generating physics-accurate 3D simulation twins from photographs and running physical AI robotics benchmarks requires deep computer vision and physics engine expertise.

What it would actually take: The system requires an automated 3D reconstruction pipeline (e.g., Gaussian Splatting, NeRFs, or photogrammetry-to-URDF pipelines) converting 2D images and CAD into rigid-body and soft-body simulation assets. The backend must orchestrate distributed physics simulators (such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or Drake) with accurate contact dynamics and embodied AI evaluation harnesses. This requires a team of specialized computer vision, robotics, and simulation researchers.
