Boston based iRobot is best known for its range of robot vacuum cleaners \u2013 like the Roomba above. The company has now sold 10 million of these, but it also produces a number of other robots.
Here’s the 110 FirstLook being put through its paces.
One of the company’s most recent additions is this Ava 500 telepresence robot; here two iRobot execs have a conversation. The mobile robot can be programmed to travel to conference rooms or to glide to your desk for a meeting.
Here’s the FirstLook and the Ava 500 sizing each other up.
The PacBot is one of iRobot’s larger defence models, deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is the RP-Vita; similar to the Ava 500 but aimed at allowing doctors to conduct remote diagnosis.
