Abstract :
The authors describe remote operation of a telerobotic underwater vehicle system. As part of an educational effort called the JASON Project, students from a network of downlink sites across North America piloted the vehicle in the course of an archeological expedition in Lake Ontario. The vehicle, control system, telecommunications, and remote control station technology are described, and operational results are reported
