Short story, possibly Heinlein or Zelazny; People living isolated on mountaintops with 3D walls for comm

I saw that, and it is close, but not 'the one'. Of course, going with my memory that could be the one.

I do feel quite strongly that mountain or hill top was featured along with the isolation aspect. I also don't recall the robots.
