Product Overview

iRobot

Ava

500 Video Collaboration Robot builds on the value of telepresence by extending the “power of in-person”

beyond ﬁxed environments – enabling the user freedom of movement and the ability to establish a physical presence

from a remote location. Bringing together iRobot’s autonomous mobile robotics platform with Cisco enterprise-class

telepresence solutions, Ava 500 enables users to instantly connect with anyone from anywhere around the world.

With rising travel costs and more globally distributed organizations, ﬁxed telepresence solutions - such as room-based

systems, executive and personal desktop units, and soft clients for PCs, smartphone and tablets - offer options for

enterprises of all sizes. Video collaboration robots complement these existing solutions by offering mobile capabilities

for end users that allow for meetings to take place in areas where videoconferencing solutions are unavailable or not

practical and allow for conversations to continue outside of ofﬁces and conference rooms – into other locations.

A complete hardware and software solution, Ava 500 provides fully autonomous, on-demand remote presence from

anywhere in the world to anywhere in an organization with enterprise-class security, reliability, and scalability for today’s

globally distributed enterprise.

Data Sheet

Beneﬁts of Video Collaboration Robots

Video collaboration robots enable increased collaboration between executives, managers, and employees when

traditional ﬁxed videoconferencing solutions are either unavailable or not practical. Robots help teams work more closely

together without the need for costly and time-consuming travel. Communication is increased and knowledge transfer

between groups and individuals is made easier through more ﬂexible scheduling of meetings. Timely decision-making is

enhanced, as interested and relevant parties can be part of more discussions at the moment that it’s needed. The result

is increased productivity for managers and employees alike and a more nimble, productive enterprise.
