The kind that are made by DSO. I should have checked the Internet first; I'll repost (yes, again!).

Eh? What kind of robot gets launched by hand? I have visions of the irritating C3PO hurling the equally irritating R2D2 through the air. On the other hand, could it be a UAV (or even an AUV) for surveillance or military purposes? More context, please!

Yikes! Who knew? As you didn't tell us this was a robot that was mean to be launched, how would we ever guess it?

I'm not sure assemble by hand fits here unfortunately. This is a throwable robot (lancable) so I'm wondering it the articulated joints and flexible antenna mechanism mean it can itself throw things.

You're welcome!
Example sentence:

The development of Hand Thrown Robots stemmed from a study to explore the production of stealth-class robots - small and stealthy light-weight robots that are deployable for surgical close-in surveillance or suicide missions in an urban environment.

The Hand Thrown Robot carries a pan-tilt-zoom camera and can survive drops of up to 6 metres. It also allows the soldier to throw the robot into windows or openings and provides a real-time video of the interior to the soldier.
