Throwbot 2

ReconRobotics developed the Throwbot 2 (TB2), a throwable micro-robot platform used by military and law enforcement teams to obtain live video and audio reconnaissance in indoor and outdoor environments without entering the space. The Throwbot 2 provides up to 110 minutes of runtime from a single lithium-polymer battery and includes both visible-light and infrared imaging for low-light operations. It is the successor to the Throwbot XT and is deployed by public safety and military units across multiple countries.

Yes. Throwbot 2 is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

Throwbot 2 is made by ReconRobotics, based in Edina, Minnesota, USA, founded in 2006.

5 verified deployments of Throwbot 2 are on the DEPLOY registry, including at United Kingdom, Iraq, Afghanistan.

Throwbot 2 is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable defense_ugv robots to Throwbot 2 include THeMIS, TALON, ROOK, MTGR.

Throwbot 2 and THeMIS (Milrem Robotics · 22 deployments) are both defense_ugv robots on the DEPLOY registry. Throwbot 2 has 5 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Throwbot 2 ranks in roughly the top 69% of defense_ugv models tracked by the registry.

Throwbot 2 is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.

Throwbot 2 has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
