# Armed Robot Drones The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM Features Arms to Grasp and Lift Objects By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-09-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-drones References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/prodrone-armed-drone/45351/) & [prodrone.jp](https://www.prodrone.jp/en/archives/1420/) The technological innovative with regard to robot drones is becoming more sophisticated everyday, so the [Prodrone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaair-integrated-drone) PD6B-AW-ARM comes as a logical next step for devices. Packed with remotely-operated arms, the Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM is capable of grasping a payload, carrying it to a location and releasing it. This can be performed with objects up to 22-pounds in weight thanks to the drone's stability sensors and augmented center of gravity. The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM is [weatherproof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-aqua) and will provide up to 30-minutes of flight per charge with a maximum speed of 60km/h and maximum height of 5,000-meters. The robot drones could come in handy for construction purposes or even life-saving endeavors where someone requires help where a rescuer can't get to them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Advanced Robotic Drones:** The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM showcases the advancement of robotic drone technology with its remotely-operated arms for grasping and lifting objects. - **Payload Delivery Drones:** The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM highlights the potential for drone technology in the delivery industry, as it can carry payloads up to 22-pounds to a desired location. - **Weatherproof Drone Technology:** The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM demonstrates the usefulness of weatherproof drones, allowing for reliable operations in various environmental conditions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the construction industry by enabling efficient handling and transport of heavy objects. - **Search and Rescue:** The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM presents potential disruptive innovation in search and rescue operations, providing assistance and delivering supplies to inaccessible areas. - **Package Delivery:** The Prodrone PD6B-AW-ARM opens doors for disruptive innovation in the package delivery industry, offering an alternative means for delivering small to medium-sized parcels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heavy Payload-Accommodating Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-drone.md) - [Heavy-Lifting Unmanned Helicopters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavylifting-unmanned-helicopter.md) - [Logistical Heavy-Duty Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-flycart-100.md) - [Hazardous Weather-Ready Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tf-g1.md) - [Autonomous Commercial-Ready Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixar-007.md) - [Industrial-Grade Drone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-industrial-drone.md) - [Heavy-Duty Hybrid Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-drones.md) - [Zero-Code Robotic Arm Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amberrobotics-lucid-one.md) - [Temperature-Resistant Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperatureresistant-delivery-drones.md)
