Abstract:

The ROV92 Conference and Exposition, the 10th in a series of successful high technology events, was held on 9-12 June 1992 in San Diego, California, USA. The conferences, sponsored by the Remotely Operated Vehicle Committee of the Marine Technology Society has been held in San Diego in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1989, and 1992. Other locations included Aberdeen, Scotland 1986, Bergen, Norway 1988, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 1990, and Hollywood, Florida, USA 1991. The systems and technology presented at the ROV92 conference have shown the great strides which have been made in this area. Tethered ROVs, both free-swimming and bottom crawling, have reached a highly reliable and capable level of development.
