I'm really not sure it will any time soon. I think robot enthusiasts sometimes underestimate what hands attached to a brain full of knowledge really are capable of. There's a problem software developers have to solve if they really want robots to be a full replacement for a human physically performing a task and that's a way for the trained humans to communicate their knowledge to the robot. The problem with this is that most people really aren't great at communicating precisely. They have a hard time teaching each other and are often hopeless when it comes to giving precise and complete instructions for something to a robot. forget complex tasks like surgery even gardening and washing dishes is hard. Even something as simple as "grab the thing" is a pretty big project. Maybe in the future as robots become more common speaking with the level of precision required will also become common (kind of like what happened to culture with the web and email.)
