In the history many various attempts create controlled machines were made throughout the times. Thomas A. Edison and Nikola Tesla were the first to think about military applications. And they worked on the transmission of electricity and experimented with radio-control devices. Nikola Tesla was the one who presented his own idea of remote-controlled torpedoes to the U.S. military, but he was rejected.2
During World War I, more development continued on robotic devices. An “electric dog”, more or less a converted tricycle, was built to carry supplies. But the only one to get into action was a German FL-7 wire-guided motorboat, equipped with Tesla’s radio control system. This motorboat carried a load of 300lbs. of explosives and were tethered
