My dad's new AI lawn mower keeps messing up our yard and my brother's sleep

So my dad bought this robot mower that's supposed to be smart... but it has no common sense. It decided to mow at 6 am on a Saturday and woke up my brother who works late shifts. Now they're fighting about noise and property lines. The thing also cut weird patterns in the grass because it got confused by a garden hose. Dad just laughs and says it's learning, but the yard looks like a puzzle gone wrong. I tried to suggest a schedule change, but the app is too complicated for him to figure out. It's just adding stress to simple weekend chores... and making family breakfasts tense with everyone grumpy.

6 am mowing hurts your brother, so beyond @patricianguyen's wire, let him set the mower's times.

Maintenance on that mower could be a bigger deal than timing, @nora_thomas63. A simple blade sharpening cuts down on noise a lot. Letting him pick times plus a quieter machine might solve it.

Have you tried laying a boundary wire for it?
