Would it be possible to replicate this mechanism using Lego Technic bricks/mechanisms?

There's an industrial robot arm built out of LEGO Technic bricks by OrangeApps, a small company related to German robot manufacturer KUKA. [1] It's primarily used for educational purposes.

Disclaimer: I work for a subsidiary of KUKA.
