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.

Yes but it wouldn't be ideal to have 100s of complex, specialized robots running around at home, if they behave like humans, they can complete tasks _optimally_.

You're not looking at hyper efficiency for most of the tasks anyway, see the robot vacuum for example, they are not quick and are slower than humans but absolutely useful.
