One of the earliest examples of remote control was developed in 1893 by Nikola Tesla, and
described in his patent, U.S. Patent
, named
Method of an Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles.
In 1903, Leonardo Torres Quevedo presented the
Telekino at the Paris Academy of Science, accompanied by a brief, and making an
experimental demonstration. In the same year, he obtained a patent in France, Spain, Great Britain,
and the United States. The
Telekino consisted of a robot that executed commands transmitted by electromagnetic waves.
It constituted the world's first apparatus for radio control and was a pioneer in the field of
remote control. In 1906, in the presence of the king and before a great crowd, Torres successfully
demonstrated the invention in the port of Bilbao, guiding a boat from the shore. Later, he would
try to apply the
Telekino to projectiles and torpedoes, but had to abandon the project for lack of
financing.
The first remote-controlled model aeroplane flew in 1932, and the use of remote control
technology for military purposes was worked intensively during the Second World War, one result of
this being the German Wasserfall missile.
By the late 1930s, several radio manufacturers offered remote controls for some of their
higher-end models. Most of these were connected to the set being controlled by wires, but the
Philco Mystery Control (1939) was a battery-operated low-frequency radio transmitter [1], thus
making it the first wireless remote control for a consumer electronics device.
The modern era of technology has pushed forward to offer remote control in other various
fields. One field in particular is Information Technology. By simply clicking on a link or typing
