Simple fix: Make it a snow shoveling robot. While mowing the lawn is a chore, shoveling snow is always a more urgent situation. It's cold, snowy, wet, you need a shower after sweating like crazy from the workout, and you're going to be 15 minutes late to the meeting because your car and driveway are both buried under 3 feet of snow. Mowing a lawn can wait until the evening or the next day. Shoveling snow always has to happen "now."

Another option is to have kids. Let them do the chores! But then you also have to pay those slightly pesky permanent monthly fees for Children-as-a-Service (CaaS) and each subscription tends to complain loudly too. So...tradeoffs.
