iRobot has announced the Ava 500, a robot that lets users conduct video conferences while on the move. The device was developed and will be marketed in close alliance with Cisco. It consists of a Cisco personal telepresence system — essentially a two-way videoconference screen with associated technology — mounted on a smart pedestal from iRobot that stands at about 5 feet 5 inches but can be lowered to seated height. The Ava 500 can be sent to a location for a videoconference, tour a facility, or observe training in progress, for example.
