I volunteered at a hospital one summer and I did exactly this, the stuff was usually in a brown bag. I can walk faster that this machine and I can take the stairs which are faster than the elevators in A hospital. I was only called to do this job when the tube system was down and overloaded at the time and the specimen could not wait. Humans are more efficient, especially the ones who volunteer( free labor), so why spend millions developing a robot, which get confused, to take the job of someone who is not paid in the first place???
