just curious, are the robot operators on a surface ship, or at a command center on land?

From the Oil Drum:

this is skilled skilled work

each ROV is piloted remotely from the surface vessel using a cable by a 3 man crew

1 man is the pilot
1 man works the manipulator (the manipulator can have diff tools as attachments)
1 man is the navigator

no there is no level of command as unscrew a bolt or do this.....every movement is controlled top side by the 3 man crew...

there is no reconstructed views ...a few sensors are there but none is a reactive sensor ....all sensors provide feed to the operators who operate even the slightest function on the ROV’s
