Notes
- 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.
