AIR AutoPilot Wins Big at NAB Show 2025: Innovation, Demos, and New Integrations

AIR AutoPilot Wins Big at NAB Show 2025: Innovation, Demos, and New Integrations

Advanced Image Robotics (AIR) made a major splash at NAB Show 2025! Their stand in West Hall was packed from open to close, with live demos, award wins, and exciting new technology partnerships. If you missed it, here’s a quick rundown of everything AIR had on display:

Award-Winning Innovation
AIR AutoPilot — the world’s first Visual Language Model (VLM) camera auto-tracking system — was named one of three winners of the prestigious PILOT Innovation Challenge. This marks another huge milestone for AIR, following previous honors like the NAB Technology Innovation Award and multiple Product of the Year wins.

Real-Time AI Learning on the Show Floor
AIR’s live demos impressed attendees with real-time learning and object tracking capabilities. One highlight: AutoPilot accurately tracked a frisbee in midair, showcasing its ability to adapt and learn on the fly. In the now-famous “Blue Bin & Lanyard” demo, the system demonstrated deep semantic understanding — maintaining focus even when objects were partially occluded.

New Technology Partnerships
AIR also announced exciting integrations with top brands:

  • Cartoni Lifto: Raise AIR One robots up to 12 feet, with full control via the AIR App.
  • Skaarhoj RCP Platform: Joystick-based pan, tilt, zoom, and roll control for professional-grade workflows.
  • MrNet Wireless Connectivity: Reliable broadband wireless enabling cloud AI demos, even on busy show floors.

Building a More Connected Future
Beyond demos and awards, AIR’s team participated in expert panels and reconnected with industry partners and friends. The energy around AIR’s platform shows the growing demand for simpler, smarter live production solutions.
