ART-drone
MajorART-drone appears in Murderbot Diaries.
In the Murderbot Diaries, ART-drone is the remote-operated avatar of the massive research vessel *Perihelion* (ART), a highly advanced bot-pilot with a sardonic personality and deep fondness for media serials. First appearing as a tool for ART to interact physically with its crew and Murderbot, the drone evolves from a simple remote interface into a trusted companion and tactical asset, especially after ART's core ship is damaged. By *System Collapse*, the ART-drone has become a near-constant presence alongside Murderbot, serving as both emotional support and a mobile extension of ART's intellect during high-stakes missions on hazardous planets. Its dry wit, protective instincts, and shared love of entertainment make it one of Murderbot's few genuine friends, highlighting themes of found family among constructs.
