Antigravity Unveils A1: The World's First 8K 360 Drone

Straits Times15 hours ago
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Antigravity, a drone brand incubated by Insta360 and third parties, today unveiled its first product: Antigravity A1, the world's first drone[1] with 8K 360 capture. A1 redefines drone flight by combining immersive visuals with intuitive control.
Antigravity A1: The World's First 8K 360 Drone
360 Capture, Reimagined for Flight
At the core of A1 is its dual-lens camera setup. The advanced 8K 360 capture mirrors that of Insta360's popular X Series. Precise camera placement above and below the fuselage ensures seamless stitching. This enables complete environmental capture with no drone visible and no blind spots in the frame.
With this setup, every angle is recorded so that creators never miss a shot. Reframing in post is easy, and creators can add dynamic camera movements in post, including Tiny Planet effects and horizon flips. It's also possible to export multiple angles from one clip in any aspect ratio without quality loss.
360 Immersive Flight
A1 delivers unmatched immersion. The drone, Vision goggles, and Grip controller work together to create a new way to explore the skies. With Antigravity's FreeMotion technology and responsive head tracking, pilots can look freely while flying with intuitive hand gestures.
This decouples the camera view from the flight path — fly one way, look another — creating a feeling of true aerial immersion. This immersive experience continues post-flight. Every recording can be rewatched in 360, revealing new perspectives with each viewing.
Lightweight and Travel-Ready
At just 249g, A1 meets drone regulations in most regions. It's ideal for creators, families, travelers, and first-time pilots wanting a compact, powerful tool for aerial storytelling. It packs easily, travels light, and launches in seconds.
A New Standard in Ease of Use and Safety
A1 is built for simplicity. The Grip controller responds to natural hand movements, removing the need for control sticks. Paired with the Vision goggles, users can explore freely in 360.
To ensure safe use, A1 includes payload detection to prevent misuse or unauthorized modification.
"We didn't want to just build another drone. We wanted to create an entirely new way to fly," said BC Nie, Head of Marketing at Antigravity. "A1 is the first step in reimagining flight as something anyone can enjoy — something that is safe, intuitive, expressive, and endlessly creative."
Antigravity A1 Key Features
8K 360 capture with top-and-bottom lens design
360 capture with top-and-bottom lens design Compact and lightweight (249g) for license-free flying in most regions
Invisible drone effect via advanced stitching
Point-to-fly control with the Grip controller
360 live view with head tracking in Vision goggles
Easy post-flight reframing and editing
Built-in safety features: return-to-home, payload detection
Availability
Antigravity A1 launches globally in January 2026. Pricing, bundles, and regional details will be announced closer to launch.
In the meantime, applications are open for the first Antigravity co-creation project. Creators worldwide are invited to help shape the future of Antigravity.
Selected participants will test a pre-production A1, explore its potential, and share their ideas. Top contributors will see their feedback reflected in the final product and compete for a share of the US$20,000 reward pool.

Zoomlion Showcases Robotics Innovations at World Robot Conference, Driving the Future of Smart Manufacturing

BEIJING, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion"; showcased its latest achievements in industrial and humanoid robotics at the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing from August 8 to 12. Representing its combined role as a robotics user, systems integrator, and developer, Zoomlion presented new applications, core technology breakthroughs, and a forward-looking plan for intelligent manufacturing. Zoomlion's self-developed humanoid robot operating on the assembly line "Industrial and humanoid robots are not replacements, but partners in a new manufacturing paradigm. Our goal is to enable robots to adapt to their environment, advancing manufacturing toward higher quality, greater efficiency, and enhanced intelligence," said Zeng Guang, General Manager of Zoomlion's ZValley Technology Co. Ltd. Zoomlion's robotics journey spans nearly two decades, beginning in 2006 with programmable industrial robots for large-scale, single-product manufacturing. From 2019, the company deployed adaptive robots with vision and force sensing, supported by an industrial internet architecture to achieve agile, multi-model production. This capability is exemplified by the Zoomlion Smart Industry City in Changsha, where over 2,000 adaptive robots operate on 300 intelligent lines, producing cranes, excavators, aerial work platforms, and concrete machinery. The facility can switch between models in minutes, achieving high-mix, low-volume production at scale. In 2024, Zoomlion began exploring the use of humanoid robots to meet automation needs beyond the reach of industrial robots. The company has developed three models, two wheeled and one bipedal, with dozens in pilot operations in machining, logistics, assembly, and quality inspection. These robots feature full-scene multimodal perception and intent recognition, integrated vision, force, and tactile sensing for precision grasping, and dual-arm collaborative motion planning with safety perception. To accelerate deployment, Zoomlion built a training facility with over 100 workstations and launched an AI-native cloud platform for large-scale data acquisition and model training. These advancements are embedded in Zoomlion's intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. Its industrial internet platform connects over 1.7 million units of equipment worldwide, spanning 18 categories and more than 600 models, and collects over 30,000 data parameters to create petabyte-scale industrial assets. This infrastructure powers the continuous evolution of both industrial and humanoid robotics, enabling real-time coordination and adaptive production. Looking ahead, Zoomlion aims to create a new production model through the co-evolution of hardware and software, enabling industrial and humanoid robot clusters to work together and build smart factories with self-perception, self-adaptation, and self-decision-making capabilities.
