Adam-U · Best for

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

A2 · Best for

Infrastructure inspection in dusty or rugged environments with up to 45-degree slope navigation

Final judgment

If immediate deployment is the priority, choose A2. If the goal is to be ready when Adam-U's capabilities mature, track it.
