Could you build this?

No The product depends on physical quadruped hardware (Dobot Rover X1), reinforcement-learning motion-tracking policies, and sim-to-real transfer. Those require robotics and ML research expertise plus the hardware itself.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a motion-capture retargeting pipeline, a simulator such as Isaac Gym or MuJoCo, and an RL training loop for a tracking policy. It then needs sim-to-real calibration and deployment onto the physical robot's controller, which requires robotics engineers, GPU training compute, and access to the hardware.
