Adam-U · Best for

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

OP3 · Best for

University robotics labs developing bipedal walking algorithms and balance controllers

Final judgment

If immediate deployment is the priority, choose Adam-U. If the goal is to be ready when OP3's capabilities mature, track it.
