It’s great fun to play with the radio controlled toys. Here’s a bit of history on radio control. Today radio control is used in industry for such devices as overhead cranes and switchyard locomotives. Radio-controlled teleoperators are used for such purposes as inspections, and special vehicles for disarming of bombs. Some remotely-controlled devices are loosely called robots, but are more properly categorized as teleoperators since they do not operate autonomously, but only under control of a human operator.
Remote control military applications are typically not radio control in the direct sense, directly operating flight control surfaces and propulsion power settings, but instead take the form of instructions sent to a completely autonomous, computerized automatic pilot. Instead of a “turn left” signal that is applied until the aircraft is flying in the right direction, the system sends a single instruction that says “fly to this point”.
Some of the most outstanding examples of remote radio control of a vehicle are the Mars Exploration Rovers such as Sojourner.
