ANYmal · Best for

Offshore oil platform monthly thermal and pressure-line patrols (eliminates boat/helicopter logistics).

Spot · Best for

Power generation and substation inspection—Spot pilots at high-voltage facilities where human entry is impossible during operation, reducing costly maintenance shutdowns

Final judgment

Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
