Scientific Submersibles: the ROV ROPOS

The Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) ROPOS is a state of the art deep sea robotic vehicle.  In this video (at right), ROPOS' Chief Pilot Keith Shepherd and Navigator Jim Illman talk to UW graduate student Judy Twedt about their 20+ years of experience working in the ocean sciences.
