The Ocean Systems Lab group pose on the WHOI dock with a sample of their REMUS (Remote Environmental Monitoring UnitS) vehicles, which are designed for coastal monitoring as well as survey operations at various depths in the ocean. Oceanographers use them as a vehicle to carry a wide variety of ocean instruments for data collection. Computers on the vehicle are used for system control, such as navigation and propulsion, as well as for data collection.
