The RP-4 radioplane "Dennymite"
RP-4 Radioplane, the “Dennymite,” powered by a 6-hp engine with a 12-foot, 3-inch wingspan. In 1940 the Army ordered 53 of the RP-4, redesignating it the OQ-1. A few months later the attack on Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into the war created an urgent need for anti-aircraft gunners—and target drones. During the war the U.S. military bought nearly 15,000 Dennymites, making the type the first mass-produced unmanned plane in history. -

Mars Pathfinder's Sojourner Rover
The Sojourner Rover was a six-wheeled vehicle that was controlled remotely by an operator here on Earth. Because of the distance to Mars, commands sent to the rover from Earth took about 10 minutes to reach it. Also, information sent back by the rover took another 10 minutes to reach Earth. The rover's mission was to gather information about the soil and rocks of Mars. Information on Sojourner Rover's performance on Mars was used to help design better robot rovers for subsequent missions. -
