The development of two new classes of commercial underwater robotic vehicles-deep diving
work-class remotely operated vehicles and survey-class autonomous vehicles-is being
driven by the needs of deep water oil production and deep ocean telecommunication cable
operations. The paper presents a survey of the present state and future directions of
commercial underwater robotics, examines principal technical challenges, and outlines new
enabling technologies for commercial underwater robotic vehicles.
