How close are we from creating humanoid robots than can perform

*There

Probably not for another 10-15 years if based only on menial labor. They likely wont be designed in a humanoid fashion though.

we aren't that close at all for really complicated stuff

It won't happen until Carbon nanotube actuators are available. I give it 15 to 25 years.

To perform *a* task, a robot can easily outperform a human.

the problem is that most jobs comprise of hundreds of little tasks, so you'd need a jack-of-all-trades, which is where humans still excel. Unless you use an equal number of robots, but then they'd have to become a lot cheaper and more general-purpose. So the problem is not technology, but cost efficiency.
