03 · Best for
Industrial assembly lines and automotive factory floors (BMW partnerships active; controlled environment)
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 03. If the goal is to be ready when Adam-U's capabilities mature, track it.
