Mechanical Qilin · Best for
Mountain rescue resupply: transport food, medical kits, equipment on steep slopes where vehicles cannot reach
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 Adam-U. If the goal is to be ready when Mechanical Qilin's capabilities mature, track it.
