Do I really need a robotic mower for a small lawn?

Not sure if it’s just the weather getting warmer lately, but I’ve been getting lazier about mowing the lawn every week.

My yard honestly isn’t that big, I always felt like it was small enough to just handle manually, so I never seriously considered getting a mower before. But recently I’ve noticed that if I get busy for even a few days, the grass grows out pretty fast and then I have to set aside time to deal with it again.

Now I’m starting to consider an upgrate, but I’m also wondering if it might be a bit overkill for a lawn this size. Most of the setups I see online seem to be for larger or more complicated yards. I’ve noticed O600 RTK that seems designed for smaller lawns, but my yard has a path that’s around 0.7m wide. Are there any models that can handle something like that well? For those with smaller lawns, do you feel like a robot mower is actually worth it? Does it genuinely make things easier, or is it more of a nice to have kind of upgrade?
