robotic motion has such peculiarities arising from locality of the effector.

when the entire mass/momentum of the task is dynamically countered by that of the entire machine, a smoother transfer results, furthermore reducing stain upon the structural components of the effector and its carrier, and buffering peak transient loads.

agree. it is going to be another AI chatbot type magical experience when we will see it in few years, but extreme engineering and years of rigor will be paid off as we see advancements. the amount of decision it will need to make to function in dynamic world and work error free (or near error free) is not going to be easy task. Current state is still pretty much in very controlled environment.
