Description:Four types of remotely operated vehicles (ROV's) are identified. The growth, application and utilization of the more than 180 vehicles constructed and under development is discussed. Current operational problems vary, but cable entanglement and system reliability are the dominant technical liabilities. Current development trends are aimed at specialized vehicles and equipment for support of offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production. The advent or low-cost, simplified ROV's has placed this technology in the hands of virtually any activity involved in utilization and investigation of the marine environment.
