Robotics is behind in making a 'human'.
Even AlphaGo had a human moving the pieces, and nobody would say that was evidence of any 'lack' in the AI.
It's just an interfacing issue, engineering will eventually solve.
Edit> What I was getting at. Take Robots as the physical interface layer for the AI. AI advancements are currently outpacing advancements in Robotics. So potentially AI could use real humans as the 'hands and feet' to do things in the physical world, by giving directions. Something will be needed to bridge the gap until Industry can be done completely by robots. Until then, AI wont be able to manufacture itself.
If you have ever worked in a modern warehouse, it is very evident, the humans are just following instructions from the system. Now scale that up to a manufacturing facility, it is already happening.
Everybody with an ear-piece or 'phone' type device, following instructions.
