At MIT several research projects are being carried out to design, develop, test and extend the capabilities of undersea vehicles. The work describes relates primarily to untethered, unmanned vehicles, in part because such vehicles offer the greatest challenge and in part because solution to the difficult problems associated with such systems will have useful applications in tethered and/or manned systems now being developed, built, and used. This Brief is intended to give an overview of the work in progress at MIT. The term 'teleoperators' refers to vehicles that allow us to sense (see, hear, feel, etc.) and/or to manipulate things at a distance. More formally, a teleoperator may be defined as 'a vehicle having sensors and actuators for mobility and/or manipulation, remotely controlled by a human operator, thus enabling the extension of the sensory-motor function to remote or hazardous environments.
