office building with robots and nothing but robots?

Picture this, 10 years from now, the office building is staffed only with security guards and a whole bunch of mobile autonomous robots, each with 21" LCD display that constantly shows your face and what you are doing at home. Everyone can work at home since there is always one robot incarnation in the office that represents you. You can navigate this incarnated robot to any room in the office building to join the meeting, to make presentation or even just to have casual watercooler conversation when you are physically at home. This is actually available now but way too expensive ($25k/yr to rent a robot). It's likely that it will be very popular in the years to come.
