Robotic arms and tele-robotics were originally invented for nuclear energy. In 1949, radioactive materials at Argonne were stored behind three feet of leaded glass, and tongs were used for handling. Raymond Goertz built two mechanical arms connected through the concrete wall by steel tape. When he moved the handle on his side, the arm inside would copy him exactly. When he gripped a beaker, he could feel it push back. This was an early demonstration of force feedback, working only with steel and cable, before robotics was a thing. By 1954, he swapped the tapes for motors and made the first electric telerobot, running on vacuum tubes, with no computer in the loop. The first industrial robot did not get installed until 1961 at a General Motors plant. Space arms, deep-sea ROVs, and surgical robots where a surgeon feels tissue all descend from Raymond's hot cell. Will be interesting to see what role robotics will play in the Second Atomic Age. Aalo intends to do a lot here!
