Key Capabilities

Navigation and Mobility

Ava 500 features autonomous navigation capabilities that allow remote users to simply specify a destination and the robot will automatically navigate its way to the desired location. There is no need for the remote user to understand the topology of the location where the robot resides or manually drive the robot to its destination. Through advanced mapping technologies, Ava 500 learns the environment in which it operates to create a realistic topology map of each location. Built- in obstacle detection and obstacle avoidance capabilities (ODOA) that leverage laser, 3D imaging and sonar technologies ensure that if the topology of the environment changes or there are moving objects in its path, such as people, the robot will not bump into them. Manual operations to rotate the robot, move the robot telepresence system up-and-down, and tilt the camera are also provided for more refined control of the robot. Robot speed may be controlled based on site conditions.

Enterprise-Class Standards-Based Videoconferencing

Ava 500 leverages HD video and audio videoconferencing via a built-in Cisco TelePresence™ EX60 for video calls of up to 1080p30 resolution. Standards-based H.323/SIP videoconferencing calls up to 6Mbps point-to-point ensure that users will benefit from an optimal videoconference experience. Embedded enterprise-grade security such as encryption, secure HTTPS management, and password protection ensures that Ava 500 is a trusted part of your corporate videoconferencing infrastructure.

Easy-to-Use Client Application

The remote user schedules and controls the robot via iRobot’s client application running in an iPad tablet. This easy-to-use application provides ease and simplicity for non-technical users by abstracting the actual robot from the user. A remote user simply schedules a meeting and places a request for a robot and the application assigns and provisions a robot from the available pool. At the scheduled time of the meeting, the remote user simply initiates the videoconference session and the robot travels automatically to the destination in time for the meeting. When the meeting has concluded, the remote user ends the session and the robot returns to its docking station automatically to recharge for the next user.

When needed, manual operation of the robot is done through trackpad interfaces on the iPad which control movement of the robot. With these trackpads, the robot can be manually moved forward, backward, or side-to-side. Further control allows the camera to be moved up-and-down and the video screen to be moved from a standing to a seated position.

Scheduling and Management

Management of Ava 500 is done through the iRobot Ava 500 Cloud Service. The iRobot Ava 500 Cloud Service manages the resource pool of robots, tracks and manages robot scheduling, monitors robot health including charging condition, and provides error reporting capabilities. The iRobot Ava 500 Cloud Service provides robust resource allocation functionality, which allows users to simply select where, when, and how long they need a robot rather than spending time reserving a particular robot that may not be available at the time it is needed.

500 specifications

The iRobot 530,500 is a remarkable robotic vacuum cleaner known for its intelligent features, user-friendly design, and efficient cleaning capabilities. One of the standout attributes of this model is its advanced navigation system, which employs a combination of sensors and algorithms to map and navigate various environments. This allows the vacuum to clean spaces effectively while avoiding obstacles and minimizing the chances of getting stuck.

Equipped with a HEPA filtration system, the iRobot 530,500 excels in trapping dust, allergens, and other particles, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and households with pets. The washable filters are easy to maintain, ensuring that the vacuum operates at peak performance for extended periods. The device is designed with a low profile, enabling it to slide under furniture and reach difficult areas that traditional vacuums often skip.

Another prominent feature of the iRobot 530,500 is its powerful suction capability. The vacuum utilizes a unique cleaning system that combines both suction and brushing action, ensuring that debris is picked up effectively, even from carpets and rugs. The dual-mode virtual wall barrier technology is another innovative addition, allowing users to define specific areas that the vacuum should avoid, such as pet bowls or delicate items.

The iRobot 530,500 is compatible with the iRobot Home App, which enables users to schedule cleaning sessions, customize cleaning modes, and receive maintenance alerts directly from their smartphones. This level of connectivity ensures that users have full control over their cleaning routine, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

Additionally, the battery life of the iRobot 530,500 is impressive, providing up to 90 minutes of cleaning time on a single charge. When the battery runs low, the vacuum automatically returns to its docking station for recharging. This autonomous operation means that the iRobot 530,500 can fit seamlessly into busy households, providing hands-free cleaning.

In summary, the iRobot 530,500 stands out with its intelligent navigation, powerful cleaning capabilities, HEPA filtration, and smart connectivity. These features combine to create a robotic vacuum that effectively meets the demands of modern living, offering users a cleaner home with minimal effort.
