SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ambarella, Inc.<\/a> (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, today announced in advance of CES<\/a> its reaffirmed commitment to advancing the drone market with high-performance, low-power system-on-chips (SoCs) that combine industry-leading video processing with on-device artificial intelligence (AI). As drones evolve from \u201cflying cameras\u201d to intelligent robotic platforms with higher autonomy, Ambarella is investing in technologies that help drone makers deliver higher image quality, lower latency decision-making, and more autonomous capabilities without relying on constant cloud connectivity.<\/p>\n

\n A History Rooted in Aerial Imaging<\/strong>
\n
Ambarella has a long-standing heritage in video compression and image signal processing that helped define modern aerial imaging. Over the past decade, the company\u2019s SoCs have been widely adopted across camera-centric form factors, including products that demand stabilized, high-resolution video, efficient power consumption and consistent performance in dynamic lighting conditions. This foundation in imaging has positioned Ambarella to support the next wave of drone innovation, where video quality and on-device AI compute intelligence increasingly converge.<\/p>\n

\n Edge AI is Becoming Central to Drones and Ambarella is Positioned to Win<\/strong>
\n
Across the industry, drones are rapidly incorporating AI \u201con the edge\u201d inside these edge-endpoint devices to reduce latency, improve reliability, enhance safety and enable real-time understanding of the environment. By running AI locally on the drone, manufacturers can deliver capabilities such as intelligent subject tracking, obstacle awareness, scene understanding and event detection while minimizing backhaul bandwidth and supporting operation in connectivity-challenged environments.<\/p>\n

Ambarella\u2019s CVflow\u00ae AI architecture and large portfolio of its CV families of SoCs, now in their third generation, are designed to bring advanced computer vision and deep learning inference to power and thermally constrained devices like drones, pairing AI acceleration with robust imaging pipelines to help OEMs build more capable airborne systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrones are quickly transforming into intelligent edge aerial robots, capturing, processing and understanding the world in real time,\u201d said Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella. \u201cAmbarella\u2019s heritage in high-quality imaging, combined with our CVflow AI roadmap, enables drone makers to push more autonomy and more insight onto the drone itself, where every millisecond and every milliwatt matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Commercial, <\/strong>
\n Consumer and Prosumer Drone Use Cases Rising and Ambarella is Expanding its Focus<\/strong>
\n
As regulations mature and organizations seek safer, faster and more cost-effective workflows, commercial, consumer and prosumer drone deployments continue to broaden. Applications such as infrastructure inspection, construction and surveying, precision agriculture, energy and utilities, public safety, and industrial site monitoring are driving demand for smarter sensing and actionable intelligence at the point of capture. Ambarella is actively exploring and expanding several engagements across these segments where customers increasingly value edge AI for real-time detection, classification, central domain control and decision support, alongside premium imaging for recording video to document 360 views of the flight path, as well as taking photos.<\/p>\n

\n Antigravity Deploys Ambarella CV5 in Antigravity A1 \u2013 World\u2019s First 360 Drone\u00b9.<\/strong>
\n
As a recent example of next-generation drone innovation, Antigravity is leveraging Ambarella\u2019s CV5 AI SoC for 8K imaging, as well as this SoC\u2019s internal CVflow AI accelerator to do on-device inferencing, highlighting how advanced video processing and on-device intelligence can be integrated in a modern aerial platform to deliver a differentiated user experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Antigravity A1 reflects our ambition to push drone imaging forward, capturing more detail, more reliably, in more situations,\u201d said Antigravity CEO Michael Shabun. \u201cBy leveraging Ambarella\u2019s CV5 SoC for high-quality imaging with its integrated CVflow architecture for on-device AI acceleration and inferencing, we can deliver intelligent capabilities at the edge while staying focused on efficiency and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
