R1 Lite · Best for
Bimanual manipulation research in university robotics labs—VLA model training, imitation learning, pick-place demos
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
Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
