'Overtaking humans' is just so ambigious.
Robots are already better than humans at a lot of things. Assembling cars, cutting stuff out of metal, flying planes, well any suffiently predefined task really.

I guess if someone would put together all these specialized roles we have for robots today into one package, that would make a pretty amazing machine. But why would they?
It would cost a bunch of money with nothing to gain from it.
'The' robot is really just a theoretical construct for now. While specializing robots for certain tasks makes them better at that, we will continue to do so.

And those robots have already overtaken humans in their own narrow field.
