China’s humanoid robot learns new tasks in hours without calibration

PNDbotics announced last week that Adam-U Ultra is positioned as an advance in autonomous control, with its system preloaded with a large VLA model and more than 10,000 real-world data samples. This allows the robot to carry out complex tasks without the extensive setup or calibration that typically slows humanoid robot training.

The company said the approach enables Adam-U Ultra to acquire and apply new skills within hours rather than days or weeks, demonstrating faster adaptability than earlier platforms, according to Interesting Engineering.

In a YouTube video, PNDbotics highlights a workflow spanning data collection, model post-training, and deployment, supported by professional post-training services.

Standing about 1.6–1.7 meters tall, the robot features 44 degrees of freedom. It is equipped with precision quasi-direct-drive joints designed to improve control, stability, and overall performance, the company said.

It is designed for industrial, commercial, and everyday settings and is positioned as a unified, flexible platform for research, education, and industrial robotics.
