Joseph Frederick Engelberger (July 26, 1925 – December 1, 2015) was an American physicist, engineer and entrepreneur. The Robotics Industries Association annually presents the Joseph F. Engelberger Awards to “persons who have contributed outstandingly to the furtherance of the science and practice of robotics." The award was first given in 1977. Engelberger's most famous co-invention, the Unimate industrial robotic arm, was among the first inductees into the Robot Hall of Fame in 2003.

Joseph Frederick Engelberger was born on July 26, 1925, in Brooklyn, New York.

Engelberger received his B.S. in physics in 1946, and M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1949 from Columbia University. He worked as an engineer with Manning, Maxwell and Moore, where he met inventor George Devol at a Westport cocktail party in 1956, two years after Devol had designed and patented a rudimentary industrial robotic arm. However, Manning, Maxwell and Moore were sold and Engelberger’s division was closed that year.
