Atlas looks great. Which job actually needs legs?

Stairs are the obvious answer people give. I'd first ask how often the job really needs that route and whether the route can change.

Doors and workstations already built for people? Not saying it wins on cost, just that the building is already there.

But a wheelbase with a lift can use plenty of those. That's where I get stuck.

The task matters more than looking human. I'd draw the reach and access requirements before choosing the body.

For teaching locomotion, legs are the point. For moving a tote, probably a different purchasing discussion.

And who retrieves it if it stops in the doorway? That question applies to wheels too.

Rick's point is why I prefer a route trial to a showroom pick. A stopped robot becomes everyone else's problem.

Still think there's room for being excited about the machine while the business case catches up.

There is. I asked about a workshop job, not permission to like it.
