Looks and reads very much like the HelpMate (by one of Joe Engleberger's post-unimation companies) except the helpmate transported drugs and supplies securely - much more useful than moving paper around. It also did the "call the elevator via RF serial link" trick, and had excellent people-avoidance tech... in the mid 90's!
