Radio Signals and Remote
Tesla's U.S. patent number 613,809 describes the first device anywhere for wireless remote control. The working model, or "teleautomaton," responded to radio signals and was powered with an internal battery.
Using his Tesla coils, he found that he can transmit and receive radio signals when the transmitter and receiver are tuned into the same frequencies. Telsa found that if a coil is tuned to a signal of frequency, it greatly magnifies the incoming electrical energy that passes through it.
Tesla's device was literally the birth of robotics, though he is seldom recognized for this accomplishment. The inventor was trained in electrical and mechanical engineering, and these skills merged beautifully in this remote-controlled boat. Unfortunately, the invention was so far ahead of its time that those who observed it could not imagine its practical applications.
