robot vacuum for my needs?

I’m new to the world of robot vacuums, and there are so many that I feel overwhelmed about choosing the right one for my house.

I have two cats and three stepkids. my biggest problem right now is crumbs from the kids and cat hair. I feel like I need to sweep and mop twice a day if I want floors that are 100% crumb- and hair-free all the time. I’m looking for something that does both vacuuming and mopping (if that’s even possible). I’m willing to spend up to around $1,000 but I’d also like to stay below that if I can. the house is a mixture of hardwood floors, tile, and faux wood snap-in tile flooring, no carpet. I do worry a little bit about my cats hitting it and attacking it too. I have one cat in particular that is feisty and likes to fight/hunt, but she may also stay away from a robot vacuum if it’s bigger than her.
