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.
