"The advantages of making robots that can use interfaces that humans use"

Yes. A group called Shadow Robotics noticed as much about 30 years ago. It turns out that building a human strong, human speed, human weight and at least human accurate robot is very tough.

The big one is the human weight. Human muscle is actually very light for its output relative to other systems and real human hands have 100s of degrees of freedom, enabled by each one.
