That's what Ava Robotics, a spinoff of iRobot focusing on collaborative mobile robots for everyday life, says its newly unveiled product offers.

The flagship robot, suitably named Ava, is a roving video conferencing machine designed to beam off-site workers into offices in a more embodied, collaborative way than dial-in or traditional video conferencing.

The company is picking up where iRobot left off with its original telepresence machine, the Ava 500. In 2013, iRobot rolled out the Ava 500 in partnership with Cisco, and for a while, it was considered the cream of the crop in a growing field of telepresence devices.

With a nearly $70,000 price tag, however, the relevance of the Ava 500 has waned with the arrival of cheaper options with similar feature sets.
