Attach a rigid body tree as a skeleton to a static mesh or to an fbx model

I have one of many models downloaded from www.sketchfab.com as gltf or fbx. However, these do not have an inbuilt skeleton to use for animation in UNREAL ENGINE; the target.
Is it possible attach a rigid body tree to any of these two files then export it to unreal and then animate there.
Preferably animate the rigid body tree as a robot and communicate the animation data to UNREAL ENGINE via data communication to the UNREAL ENGINE.

Hello,
The best way to attach bones to the skeletal mesh in Unreal would be to first import the FBX file to a CAD software where you can then attach the skeleton and then export for use in Unreal.
Blender and Maya are good candiadtes for this.
If you have a rigidBodyTree model of the robot in MATLAB, you could use the link dimensions as reference when creaing the skeleton in the CAD software.
Best,
Githin
