Could you build this?

No Perceptive humanoid motion built from simulation involves robotics research, physics simulation, motion tracking and typically real hardware for validation. This is specialized research work.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a physics simulator (e.g., Isaac Gym or MuJoCo-class tooling), reinforcement learning or motion-generation training pipelines, and perception and tracking models. Sim-to-real transfer needs humanoid hardware or very careful validation, so it requires robotics and ML research expertise and significant GPU compute.
