> something as simple as installing an outlet during construction requires a level of physical skill that is so far beyond what any robot can do that we have no idea how it would be accomplished

This could be the equivalent of the Turing test for robotics, perhaps. Although I'd extend it to "install a new outlet in any randomly selected existing house, as requested by the occupants and in accordance with local regulations and national electrical standards, without damaging anything. And clean up after yourself."
