I found that the robot example won't work for me. I would replace the add_argument part with the following:

    ${chrome_options}=  Evaluate  sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()  sys, selenium.webdriver
     Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    headless

For robotframework I found better solution - https://github.com/drobota/robotframework-xvfb

    create webdriver  Chrome  chrome_options=${options}
