It is because Maven look for dependencies in your local repository first, if not found there then in Maven Central.
All those missing dependencies are neither available in your local repository nor in Maven Central Repository. I came across the same problem and what i did is following:
- Copied all the jars from my SDL Web8 setup folder[Most of them are present in "Content Delivery"] some of them were not there i searched them in maven central too, like. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.tridion/cd_modelhttp://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.tridion/cd_model/8.1.1-1005
- Once i got all the jars, i placed them in one folder and renamed them as expected by my pom(like in your case it should look like cd_ambient-8.1.0)
- After getting all of them renamed, made a batch file "maven-install.bat" which contained following maven commands[You can run them one by one too.]

Moved this maven-install.bat file in the same folder where i placed all my jars. And by running this file, all my mentioned jars got installed in my local maven repository.
Build you project and these jars will be referenced and will become part of your project's Maven Dependencies.
