Could you build this?

No This is a research foundation model for vision-language navigation, trained and evaluated on multiple robot embodiments. It requires novel ML research, large-scale robot data, and hardware access.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a multimodal navigation model trained on large volumes of robot trajectory data, plus a spatial memory architecture. Evaluating it requires physical robots (quadrupeds, humanoids, drones) and a research team that can run training and real-world trials.
