CL-1 · Best for
Embodied AI research and sim-to-real algorithm validation on real hardware with dynamic stair/slope locomotion
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 CL-1's capabilities mature, track it.
