The new robotic solution features gesture-based controls, additional cameras for monitoring its environment and an enhanced speaker system that will provide crystal clear audio. This makes it ideal for [offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nubo-smart) or [healthcare environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namuhx-a1) where the demand for [telepresence technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-2) continues to increase as organizations become more global. The Ava Robotics 'Ava' telepresence robot is available to businesses for leas at a monthly cost of $1,000, which also provides access to full technical support rather than simply offering the solution for direct sale. The robot will likely be followed in the near future with more solutions that enable teams to connect even if they aren't within the same geographical region. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gesture Control:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative and intuitive gesture control technology for various applications. - **Enhanced Telepresence:** Potential for advancements in telepresence technology to improve communication and collaboration in professional settings. - **Robotic Solutions:** Growing market for multifunctional robots that cater to specific industry needs, such as telepresence robots for offices and healthcare. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Telecommunications:** Telecommunications industry can capitalize on the demand for enhanced telepresence solutions to offer improved communication services for businesses. - **Healthcare:** Healthcare industry can leverage telepresence robots to facilitate remote consultations, monitoring, and collaboration between medical professionals. - **Robotics:** Opportunity for robotics industry to develop and supply multifunctional robots for various industries, such as telepresence robots for professional settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Companion Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-ava-1.md) - [AI-Enhanced Desktop Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-robots.md) - [Mobile Robot Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w1.md) - [Remote-Controlled Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-humanoid-robot.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-touch.md) - [Smart Moveable Robot Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebo-air-2.md) - [Gesture Control Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-smartdesk-levitate.md) - [Advanced Classroom-Ready Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-mobile-robot-platform.md) - [Robotic Restaurant Support Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotlab-automated-systems.md)
