    "Capabilities research (2026-09-20): press coverage (Gasgoo/WAIC 2026, YouTube) describes Adam demonstrating stair climbing and a Charleston-style dance, and a separate stationary rig 'Adam-U' used for motion-capture/teleoperation-based AI training. The stair-climbing source page (autonews.gasgoo.com) returned HTTP 403 and could not be quoted directly, and the dance-focused Interesting Engineering article (2025-08-04) confirms Adam-U is a motion-capture platform but contains no explicit sentence on Adam's own stair-climbing or its autonomy. No accessible source yielded a literal, checkable quote plus explicit autonomy statement for any capability id in this build's timebox, so the capabilities block is left empty rather than guessed.",
    "PNDbotics' own site (pndbotics.com) returned no readable specification content when fetched during this build (JavaScript-rendered page); this record relies on New Atlas's article, which reports PNDbotics' own stated specs but is independent press coverage rather than a manufacturer page or press release. Treat height/weight/dof/payload as claimed-by-manufacturer-via-press-coverage pending a direct manufacturer source.",
    "DOF figures conflict across sources: this file uses 41 (Adam SP, from the actuator-count description in the New Atlas article); other secondary listings cite 'up to 44 degrees of full-body freedom' for the wider Adam platform and 25 actuators for the separate Adam Lite variant. Not resolved; flagged here rather than picking silently.",
    "The $100,000 figure is described as an online prototype listing, not a stable product price; the separate wheeled 'Adam U' variant is reported at $45,000 launching around September 2025 at WAIC, but that is a different SKU and not included in this file's price_history.",
    "No named customer with invoice/serial-number/unboxing evidence was found, so delivery.status is 'demonstrated' (public festival debut shown), not 'shipped'.",
    "Battery runtime and walking speed were not found in the sources checked during this build and are omitted rather than guessed.",
    "locomotion left out (2026-09-21): searched the manufacturer's own product/press page and its main launch coverage (The Robot Report / IEEE Spectrum / named outlet where applicable) for a literal quote naming the propulsion (\"bipedal\", \"legs\", \"walks\", \"wheeled base\", etc.); none of the pages fetched in this pass contained a checkable sentence naming it specifically for Adam -- most pages describe height/DOF/speed without ever stating the locomotion type in words. Left out rather than inferred from photos or category. Revisit with a source that states it directly."
