An android is a robot[1] or synthetic organism[2][3][4] designed to look and act like a human, and with a body having a flesh-like resemblance.[2] Although "android" is used almost universally to refer to both sexes, and those of no particular sex, "Android" technically refers to the male form, while "Gynoid" is the feminine form. Until recently, androids have largely remained within the domain of science fiction, frequently seen in film and television. However, advancements in robotic technology have allowed the design of functional and realistic humanoid robots.

from wiki.

Quote
A robot is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform tasks automatically or with guidance, typically by remote control. In practice, a robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by computer and electronic programming. Robots can be autonomous, semi-autonomous or remotely controlled. Robots range from humanoids such as ASIMO and TOPIO to Nano robots, Swarm robots, Industrial robots, military robots, mobile and servicing robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

so, unless HAGAR's a cyborg, he's an android.

..but he certainly doesn't have a "flesh-like appearance"....I think your quotes support the opposite conclusion.

neither do BATs, but they're still robots designed to look and act human.

Very nice use of parts!  Love the gatling gun arms on this Guided Attack Robot...
Wait, guided?  As in guided with a remote control like a PAC/RAT?!

That"s probably what The Mike means by robot. it has no AI at all, but is radio-controlled. Would avoid the problems often found on BAT filecards where they attack each other or are otherwise confused.

Vulnerable to things that disrupt radio waves, such as haywire explosions, but I guess normal bats would'nt fare too well against these anyway.
