A UAV is disclosed, comprising a robotic arm having an upper arm portion and a lower arm portion configured to articulate relative to each other in a vertical plane. The articulation is remotely actuated, enabling controlled movement of the robotic arm for various tasks. The UAV may further include features such as an antagonistic actuation mechanism, additional actuators for horizontal movement, an end effector for interacting with objects, a camera for detecting targets, and a control system for autonomous operation. A system for autonomous operation may include a station for battery swapping or recharging. Methods of commercially exploiting the UAV, robotic arm, or associated build kits and instructions are also disclosed. The invention is particularly suited for applications where budget-friendly construction is desired, such as in the toy industry, or where many instances of the invention are needed to perform the possible work, such as pest control in agricultural settings. A mechanism for decoupling components from the UAV body's rotation reduces the moment forces that propellers need to overcome for roll and pitch adjustments, allowing for smaller motors and a lighter, safer, and cheaper design.
