You have to tradeoff between privacy, automation and cost.
The scenario you described is tough to solve because of edge cases sort of like FSD.
If you want that work done then its cheaper to hire a maid. It would be nice to have complete privacy and have a robot perform all those tasks flawlessly but the price point would make it economical to get a human to do it.
Perhaps you can get someone to drive the robot but that puts privacy at risk.
Same thing with sex robots it is cheaper to hire a sex worker so until something that can get us past the uncanny valley I don't think we will see a robot revolution quite yet. The hardware alone is prohibitively expensive and there is not enough people tinkering at the problem (because to hire humans is always safer and easier and cheaper).
