For a robot to replace human beings in terms of employment. It has to be able to accomplish its task without failure. If a robot fails it's task, or somehow ends up damage or destroyed in process of engaging its task...

That's not true at all. Let's take automated tellers. They are not perfect. They breakdown and sometimes need to be repaired. However, they are still openly used across North America. Just because a tool has the capability of failing doesn't mean it is never used again.

The repairs/replacement for said robot may be expensive.

Yeah, that may be true, but as time carries on, they become waaaaaay cheaper.

If a human being performs badly at their job, their employer may suggest to find another means of accomplishing their duty more efficiently. If unsatisfactory results continue, they can easily be replaced by another person that is more "skilled/or willing to fulfill their duty to the job"

What the hell does this have to do with robots?

Seriously, you are arguing that robots will never take over any menial tasks because they can never be created to be 'perfect', despite the fact that there are plenty of examples of robots performing menial tasks right now.

Even the thing you quoted said "robots doing tasks" not "when will AI be able to flawlessly accomplish all current and possible menial tasks".
