S1 · Best for

Research labs testing whole-body imitation learning and mobile manipulation under controlled conditions

Adam-U · Best for

Vision-language-action (VLA) policy pretraining in simulation-to-real pipelines (teleop → imitation learning → autonomous deployment on fleet robots)

Final judgment

If immediate deployment is the priority, choose S1. If the goal is to be ready when Adam-U's capabilities mature, track it.
