From here: Remnant.

Remnant has a wide variety of advanced technologies. Most technology is powered by Dust, which is the primary source of energy in Remnant. The world features many instances of technology such as weapons, flying vehicles and advanced robotics. The Kingdom of Atlas, in particular, is known for its technological advances in numerous fields.

One of the most significant examples of Remnant's technology are the weapons of huntsmen and huntresses. Unique weapons are designed and manufactured by their users on an individual basis and use a variety of techniques to increase their effectiveness, such as in-the-field transformations for versatility, and the harnessing of Dust.

The field of robotics, as well as artificial intelligence, is incredibly advanced in Remnant. Androids built specifically for combat are known to be a mainstay of the Atlesian military, with units such as the Atlesian Knight-130 and Atlesian Knight-200 being capable of operating autonomously. Large human-controlled mechanical suits, such as the Atlesian Paladin-290 are also produced by Atlas. However, the most remarkable achievement in the field of robotics is the creation of androids capable of generating Aura (for which a soul is believed to be necessary). Penny Polendina was the first and currently only such robot known to exist.

Advanced personal electronics are also commonplace. The Scroll is a mobile device that serves multiple purposes, including making phone calls, taking photographs, viewing live video feeds, as a form of personal identification, and as a digital data storage device. Furthermore, Scrolls are shown to be invaluable in combat as they can electronically monitor and warn on a combatant's aura deterioration. Holograms are also common, being used as personal avatars, computer displays, and even as traffic lights and barriers.

Communication and data transmission over vast distances are also possible through the use of the Cross Continental Transmit System. The CCTS was created by the Kingdom of Atlas following the Great War as a gift to enable the Kingdoms to communicate with each other effectively. Video calls and digital file transfers are some of the capabilities of the CCT, and equivalent technology is available in many places, such as public libraries.

In terms of transportation, land-based transports include standard motor vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles and trains, as well as non-motor vehicles, such as bicycles. Airborne vehicles include enormous passenger Airships, agile VTOL aircraft known as Bullheads, and hoverboards. However, spaceflight is impossible since Dust loses its power once it leaves the atmosphere.

=Weapons= The world of Remnant is filled with dangerous monsters known as Creatures of Grimm so people were forced to create weapons to defend themselves.

Though standard weapons exist, the majority of weapons shown in RWBY are usually designed to be transformable, using a foldable frame - a framework capable of shifting various sections to change the weapon from one form into another in mere seconds. Weapons with a foldable frame possess two or more selected forms, and the wielder is capable of freely swapping between each weapon state depending on their needs.

Typically, such weapons would have both a melee state and a ranged combat state, but are not necessarily limited to those specific types of attacks while in each state. Weapons can also have an inactive state known as a "sheathed" form, locking and securing the weapon while outside of combat, similar to the safety catch of a firearm. For example, Crescent Rose and Ember Celica shrink down to be holstered and carried easily, while Crocea Mors and Gambol Shroud both have separate sheaths to make them easy to carry.

Dust


Some weapons are shown to be fueled by Dust for a more "magical" style of combat. By doing so, Huntsmen combine the brute force of the weapons themselves with effects like object enchantment and elemental attacks such as weather and nature manipulation.

All of the known weapons incorporate Dust into their designs, either by utilizing Dust into an attack, as seen with Myrtenaster, or using Dust in the form of bullets or ammunition. It is implied that all "firearms" in Remnant use Dust ammunition.

Cross Continental Transmit System


The Cross Continental Transmit System (CCTS or simply CCT) is a communication technology in Remnant which allows instantaneous multimedia communication wirelessly over large distances. Ozpin calls it the most influential technological innovation of all.

The Cross Continental Transmit System was first developed by the kingdom of Atlas and gifted to the rest of the world after the Great War to allow the kingdoms to remain in communication. The CCTS functions wirelessly, much like radio, but is capable of transmitting a far wider variety of media, including text, visuals and audio. This evolved into an online web of information at mankind's fingertips.

The CCTS is reliant on four primary relay towers, with one located in each of the four Kingdoms. The first and largest of these towers is located in Atlas. Should any one of them be taken offline for maintenance – or fail for other reasons – the entire system also goes offline.

Scrolls


A Scroll is an object that functions as a collapsible, holographic tablet. It is capable, among other things, to function as a phone, a portable computer, a camera and a streaming device as well as a gaming controller.

During combat it is able to gauge a user's Aura and depict it as a life bar, along with those of the user's teammates.

=Transportation= Remnant features advanced technology and a lot of different vehicles ranging from land, water and sky. In terms of transportation, land-based transports include standard motor vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles and trains, as well as non-motor vehicles, such as bicycles. Airborne vehicles include enormous passenger Airships, agile VTOL aircraft known as Bullheads, and hoverboards. However, spaceflight is impossible since Dust loses its power once it leaves the atmosphere.

= Vehicles (sentry)= (General information)

Vehicles are used for extended travel by most who have access to them in Remnant, though out of necessity, lack of alternatives, or personal preference, people will still travel using methods such as horses or their own two legs.

Ground Vehicles
Ground vehicles in Remnant are known to range from bicycles to cars to hoverboards to mechs.

(a list for ground vehicles based on the weapon list, for now a series of links)

Aircraft
Given the global abundance of Grimm and the deliberate inaccessibility of major human settlements, aircraft present an appealing choice for transportation due to their speed and relative safety.

Aquatic Vessels
Aquatic vessels have the fewest on-screen examples of any of the three main archetypes, though they have had the fewest opportunities. While most known Grimm are limited to the ground, and known aerial Grimm have only been seen operating over land, evidence suggests that the Grimm pose at least a note-worthy threat to sea-faring vehicles

=Robotics=

The field of robotics, as well as artificial intelligence, is incredibly advanced in Remnant. Androids built specifically for combat are known to be a mainstay of the Atlesian military, with units such as the Atlesian Knight-130 and Atlesian Knight-200 being capable of operating autonomously. Large human-controlled mechanical suits, such as the Atlesian Paladin-290 are also produced by Atlas. However, the most remarkable achievement in the field of robotics is the creation of androids capable of generating Aura (for which a soul is believed to be necessary). Penny Polendina was the first and currently only such robot known to exist.

Prosthetics
A prosthesis is a device that replaces a missing body part. Prosthetics in the world of Remnant are advanced enough to allow the wearer full control and move identically to the body parts that they replace, frequently with added abilities.

Prosthetics can even take the place of half of a person's body, as seen with James Ironwood, who has his right arm, right leg and the right half of his torso completely replaced by a mechanical prosthesis. This extreme case, however, requires Ironwood to wear a device on his forehead that wirelessly connects with the prosthesis in order to control it.



Weapons, such as guns, can be integrated into prosthetics. Mercury Black and Yang Xiao Long, for example, have guns within their prosthetics. While Mercury's guns simply have a barrel always present in each heel, Yang's gun tucks away into her forearm. Both of these dramatically increase attack power.

Mercury's prosthetic legs appear to also utilize cyan-colored Dust in some way, as seen when one powers on and begins glowing in "Beginning of the End".

Doctor Merlot has both a prosthetic right arm and left eye. The full capabilities of Merlot's prosthetics are unknown.

Maria's prosthetic eyes help her see clearly, but they only see in a light blue tint.

Tock has sharp metal teeth implanted into her jaws, which she can use in battle, such as when she breaks one of Maria's kamas in "The Grimm Reaper".

First seen in "Lost", Tyrian Callows gains a prosthetic tail after Ruby Rose cut off his stinger. Similar to the original, this robotic tail is capable of releasing venom, through a protractable curved needle.

Mechanical prosthetic body parts are able to channel and be protected by the user's Aura, much like standard weapons.

Robots
Not sure how to write it: Penny last, since she's special, or Atlesian Knights, Penny (since they're robots) and then the Paladin since it's just a mech.

Atlesian Knight-130


The Atlesian Knight-130, otherwise known as the AK-130,  is an advanced type of security robot produced by the Atlesian military. and used around the Kingdoms. It served as the standard security model of Remnant for several years. The AK-130's successor, the Atlesian Knight-200, was introduced in the episode "A Minor Hiccup".

They are able to change their hands into revolving automatic weapons or alternatively, into large curved, wrist-mounted blades, fighting with both in a dual-wielding style. They also appear to possess a certain level of artificial intelligence, since one is shown to speak, albeit primitively, towards their aggressors. They can also signal to each other using hand gestures to begin attacking.

The AK-130 is actually extremely weak in comparison to Adam and Blake, who easily defeated several large groups of them. At the start of the fight scenes, they adopt a fist-fighting stance and appear to be comfortable using their hands in combat.

Atlesian Knight-200


The Atlesian Knight-200, otherwise known as the "AK-200", is a line of android foot soldiers and the successor to the Atlesian Knight-130.

The AK-200s are armed with handheld rifles of the same type used by their human counterparts, rather than their predecessors' built-in firearms. Aside from rifles, the AK-200s possess straight built-in blades along their forearms which they can use in melee combat.

They can be deployed by free-fall airdrop from Atlesian VTOL dropships, dropping roughly ten per ship directly into contested areas. In combat, they are quite effective against the Grimm, and are seen killing lesser Grimm such as Boarbatusks and Ursai, though they usually require superior numbers to prevail. However, they are no match for a skilled Huntsman or Huntress. Qrow easily destroys two with his bare hands and very little effort, while Blake and Weiss eliminate dozens of them with ease.

Spider Droid


The Spider Droid (unofficial) is a large defense robot that defended the cargo of aboard the Black Cargo Train.

It shares similar traits with a spider, such as the ability to hang in midair for an ambush attack. It appears to be made of an extremely durable substance that can withstand both Blake's and Adam's initial attacks. At close range, the Spider is able to use its own body and legs to attack, and even managed to wound Blake.

At long range, it can fire off each of its four cannons, though it can only fire one at a time at a rather slow rate of fire. The Spider's merged cannon has enough strength and force to knock away both Adam and Blake through the back of a train cart.

Merlot Industries Robot


Merlot Industries used robots as its security force. Doctor Merlot used these robots as he continued experimenting on Grimm on his island. Two types of robots have been seen, red ones wielding a bladed staff and white ones wielding a chaingun.

Atlesian Paladin-290


The Atlesian Paladin-290 is a massive mechanized battlesuit developed by the Kingdom of Atlas' greatest minds in collaboration with the Schnee Dust Company.

The Atlesian Paladin boasts a tough armor that makes it very strong and resistant to attacks. However, the mech itself cannot take repeated blows and is susceptible to being destroyed if hit by a much stronger attack.

In addition, the mech is armed with multiple laser sights: one is mounted under the cockpit, two are mounted on the upper corners of the cockpit and at least two (one on each side) more laser sights are mounted on the back shoulders of the mech. They are accurate enough to detect (extremely quick) movement, but they do not offer pinpoint accuracy.

In "Painting the Town...", it is shown to be able to fire explosive rockets that home in on its target. The Atlesian Paladin's cannons fire similar shots to the Spider Droid.

The Paladin is also able to deploy semi-collapsible mechanical fists from underneath its arms on top of its main cannons, which it uses in close combat. It is mobile enough to jump over an entire highway and outrun cars.

Although there is a cockpit built for a pilot to operate the mech, it also appears to have an autopilot mode capable of moving and fighting independently, which was hacked by Roman using Cinder's computer virus

Colossus


The Colossus is an enormous mech that was first introduced in "Stealing from the Elderly". Its purpose is to defend the city of Argus if giant Grimm were to attack the city from the ocean. While not in use it is stored inside the Argus Military Base.

Penny Polendina


Penny Polendina was a character who first appeared in the episode "The Stray", when she was found lying on the ground after Weiss Schnee crashed into her, whilst chasing after Sun Wukong.

In "Painting the Town..." it is revealed that Penny was a robot, with her telling Ruby Rose that "most girls are born, but I was made."

Amity Colosseum


Amity Colosseum is the location of the Vytal Festival tournament. It is an enormous levitating arena that is capable of moving vast distances, making the journey to the host Kingdom every time the festival is held in one of the four Kingdoms.

Amity Colosseum is an enormous airborne colosseum with an inverted cone shape. The base of the structure is a very large Dust crystal that tapers to a point.
