Adam-U · Best for

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

M1 · Best for

Heavy parts assembly in automotive or appliance manufacturing where human-scale bipedal access to elevated worktables is required

Final judgment

If immediate deployment is the priority, choose Adam-U. If the goal is to be ready when M1's capabilities mature, track it.
