Prodrone’s New Drone Has Robotic Arms

The Japanese company Prodrone has been developing large, industrial class drones for years, but none of them function like the PD6B-AW-ARM, because this bad boy has robotic arms. The almost six foot long drone might not be able to tackle everything the Power Loader from Aliens could, but the five-axis robotic arms are capable of carrying up to 22lbs for thirty minutes at a max speed of 37mph and an altitude of 5,000m. It might have initially been designed and developed for working in high places and collecting dangerous materials—you know, stuff not really suitable for a man on the ground—but we can definitely see an army of these in an upcoming science fiction film.
