Adam-U · Best for

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

B1 · Best for

Perimeter security patrols at industrial plants, utility substations, and campuses—replacing overnight guard rounds

Final judgment

If immediate deployment is the priority, choose B1. If the goal is to be ready when Adam-U's capabilities mature, track it.
