Joseph F. Engelberger (born in New York City, July 26, 1925) is a physicist, engineer and entrepreneur who is referred to as the "Father of Robotics".[1][2] Licensing the original patent awarded to inventor George Devol, Engelberger developed the first industrial robot in the United States, the Unimate, in the 1950s. Later he worked as entrepreneur and vocal advocate of robotic technology beyond the manufacturing plant in a variety of fields, including service industries, health care, and space exploration.
George Devol was an American inventor and entrepreneur best known for creating the first industrial robot, the Unimate, in the late 1950s. Joseph Engelberger, often referred to as the "father of robotics," collaborated with Devol to commercialize the Unimate, leading to its first deployment in a General Motors factory in 1961. Together, they played pivotal roles in advancing robotics technology and its application in manufacturing, significantly influencing modern automation. Their partnership laid the groundwork for the robotics industry as we know it today.
The first robot, known as "Unimate," was created in the early 1960s by George Devol and later developed by Joseph Engelberger. It was designed for industrial automation, specifically to perform repetitive tasks in manufacturing processes. Unimate was first used in a General Motors assembly line, where it handled tasks such as stacking hot metal parts, significantly improving efficiency and safety in the workplace.
So far the first robot goes to the Chinese (it was a huge water clock with several automatons that did things like display plaques and ring bells), although many artifacts are being unearthed and cataloged that make it a tight race between the Iraq region, Egypt, Greece and India.
