Adam-U · Best for
Vision-language-action (VLA) policy pretraining in simulation-to-real pipelines (teleop → imitation learning → autonomous deployment on fleet robots)
B2 · Best for
Power grid and petrochemical facility inspections, where thermal imaging and gas sensing payloads and all-terrain mobility justify cost.
Final judgment
If immediate deployment is the priority, choose B2. If the goal is to be ready when Adam-U's capabilities mature, track it.
