PNDbotics Adam-Uvsunitree B2
For power grid and petrochemical facility inspections, where thermal imaging and gas sensing payloads and all-terrain mobility justify cost., B2 is easier to deploy today — Adam-U is the longer bet on capability.

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