Looking at industrial robots they don't mimic how humans do things, and hence, they are efficient. That's why I don't understand how these propsals to teach robots how humans do things will make any sense.

To have robots at homes, they will need their tools to be efficient. It will not be the same washing machine, oven, or dishwasher that we use now, there will be new ones made for robots.

Because many spaces are built for humans. We already have specialized robots that vacuum our floors, but cleaning the surfaces, removing cables and tidying up is still constrainted to human-shaped entities

Yes it actually solved the fun parts of vaccuming and left tedious parts to humans.
