Meet Dr. Adler
Robert Adler, co-inventor of the original TV zapper or remote control with Eugene Polley, has died age 93 in a Boise nursing home due to heart failure.
Eugene Polley and Robert Adler were two of a dozen engineers at Zenith Electronics Corporation tasked with creating a wireless remote control for the television. In 1955, Polley invented the ‘Flashmatic’, using photocells to transmit information to a television screen, somewhat reminiscent of the infrared technology used in many of today’s lounge room remote controls.
