A robotic device for distributing designated items to designated persons, comprising: means for autonomously moving said robotic device through a premise; storage means including multiple compartments for containing designated items; an external or internal memory module containing optical recognition scans and personal information of persons located within said premise, and substantive information of said designated items; optical recognition scanners; means for dispensing items from said storage means including a movable vacuum tube, a controlled vacuum, a mobile arm for controlled movement of said vacuum tube and an exit tube, wherein said storage means is adapted to rotate until a compartment for the designated item is in alignment with said vacuum tube, said controlled vacuum is adapted to be activated so that the designated item is sucked into the vacuum tube and held, said mobile arm is adapted to move the vacuum tube until it aligns with said exit tube, and said vacuum can then be deactivated so that the designated item falls through the exit tube; a control module in electronic communication with said means for autonomously moving, said optical recognition scanners, said memory and said means for dispensing; wherein the robotic device further comprises secondary recognition scanners; and, said memory module further contains secondary recognition scans of persons located within said premise; said control unit is adapted to: direct said means for autonomously moving to move said robotic device within said premise, direct said optical recognition scanners to scan persons as they are encountered, compare images from said optical recognition scanners to optical recognitions in said memory to identify a person; and, upon identifying a person, search said personal information of said person in said memory and identify designated items specified for said person, and then direct said means for dispensing to dispense said designated item to said person; and prior to dispensing said designated item, direct said secondary recognition scanners to scan said person, compare images from said secondary recognition scanners to secondary recognitions in said memory to confirm said person is the correct person to receive said designated item, and wherein said means for dispensing further comprises substantive scanners and said memory module further contains substantive scans of said designated items; and, wherein, prior to dispensing said designated item, said control unit directs said substantive scanners to scan said designated item, compares scans from said substantive scanners to substantive scans in said memory to confirm said designated item is the correct designated item for said person. means for autonomously moving said robotic device through a premise;
