Robert Adler is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — Co-invented the wireless television remote control (Zenith Space Command, 1956). Austrian-Jewish émigré physicist.
Robert Adler was an Austrian-born Jewish physicist and prolific inventor who fled Nazism and joined Zenith in Chicago. With Eugene Polley's earlier photocell design, Adler's 1956 ultrasonic 'Space Command' made the practical wireless television remote control, using inaudible high-frequency sound; he held more than 180 US patents. His remote-control work reshaped how the world watches television.
