What exactly I need to start learning if I want to be able to calculate the most efficient geometry to minimize friction, when designing electro-mechanical shit like actuators, ball screws, etc? Maybe some book recommendations?

To design efficient, low-friction electro-mechanical systems, focus on these areas:
1. Mechanical Engineering Basics: Learn statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials.
• Read: Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics by Meriam and Kraige.
2. Tribology: Study friction, lubrication, and wear.
• Read: Introduction to Tribology by Bharat Bhushan.
3. Machine Design: Understand bearings, gears, and fatigue.
• Read: Mechanical Engineering Design by Shigley and Budynas.
4. Control Systems: For precise actuator movement.
• Read: Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems by Franklin.
5. FEA & Optimization: For simulating and fine-tuning designs.
• Read: Introduction to Finite Element Analysis by Khennane.
These topics will give you the core knowledge to minimize friction in your designs.

Electromechanical shit always looked to me like a waste of resource and efficiency. Do they have any uses these days outside of niche high voltage or something? Solid-state devices must've replaced them in most other places.

while transistors are used for logic where it was once relays (some old elevators are still controlled by relay logic), anything with a knob or a button or a motor or sensing switch is going to be "electromechanical." they're used anytime an electronic system interacts with a physical system such as machines or humans.
