Could you build this?

No Whole-body motion tracking for a physical Unitree G1 robot requires reinforcement-learning research, a world-model training pipeline, large GPU clusters, and robot hardware access that vibe coding cannot provide.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a motion-capture or retargeting dataset, a simulator such as Isaac Lab or MuJoCo, and an RL training stack (e.g., a JAX/PPO or world-model implementation) run at scale on multi-GPU hardware. Sim-to-real transfer must be validated on a physical G1 with safety and calibration work. This requires robotics and ML research expertise, substantial compute, and access to robot hardware.
