The need for supervisory control of remote teleoperator vehicles in the ocean environment is considered and it is shown that computer controlled systems can increase the effectiveness of remote manipulation. A distinction is made between absolute tasks-tasks which have a known spatial relationship to the manipulator base prior to execution- and relative tasks-tasks which cannot be spatially defined prior to execution. Based on the mathematical and theoretical foundations described in this report, a supervisory system was developed and demonstrated. The major conclusion derived from this study is that even under the 'best' control conditions, i.e. no time delays, no frame rate problems, high visibility, etc. supervisory control can improve system performance for all forms of manual control except master/slave with force feedback.
