This sequence is also shown in a short video walkthrough.
When the robot moves away toward the far end of the room, push the cage once so it's blocking the path in front of the alcove.
Then go around to either side of it (left or right doesn't matter)...
...and push the cage twice.
Move around the side of the cage into the corner, where it's safe...
...and wait for the robot to come and go again.
Then push the cage four times toward the far end of the room. If you're quick, you can do this before the robot returns, but it's OK to pause between pushes, look around, and step off to the side if necessary.
The goal is to position the cage at the intersection of the long path and the crosswise path near the electrical panel. When the robot comes along, it will bump into the cage, turn around, and drive into the alcove, frying the electrical panel.
This opens the trapdoor and one of the button covers in the room above.
Return to the side passage where you entered this area...
...and climb the grating ladder to the room with the switch and buttons.
