"Practical Teleportation for the Modern Workplace"
Cambridge, MA telepresence robot company founded 2016 as an iRobot spinoff, delivering autonomous workplace robots for remote collaboration and security.
Ava Robotics is an autonomous telepresence robotics company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, founded in 2016 as a spinoff from iRobot. Co-founded by former iRobot senior engineers Youssef Saleh and Marcio Macedo, Ava Robotics licensed core remote presence technology from iRobot and built upon it to develop highly autonomous mobile robots for workplace environments. The company's flagship platform is the Ava telepresence robot, which distinguishes itself from conventional telepresence systems through sophisticated onboard sensors and autonomous navigation: remote users can direct the robot to any location in a facility without manually driving it, while the robot independently avoids people and obstacles.
Use cases include remote collaboration, pharmaceutical and cleanroom environments, security patrols, healthcare support, and real estate walkthroughs. Ava Robotics integrates with existing enterprise video conferencing platforms, enabling employees to attend meetings, conduct site visits, and engage clients from anywhere in the world through a physical robot presence. The company serves sectors including pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and real estate.
Ava Robotics has raised approximately $12.3 million in total funding since its founding, backed by investors including Innospark Ventures. The company operates as a private entity and maintains its engineering and commercial operations in the greater Boston area.
