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.

When it comes to integration, efficiency isn’t the most important quality attribute (“ility”). Having the interfaces be easily used by humans manually is more important. It’s why http1 has been dominant for so long… it’s easy for humans to understand and manually use without needing complex tooling. Yeah, eventually these things get replaced once machine-to-machine efficiency becomes a real pain point, but it’s far down the road. Not the first thing you try to tackle.
