Technology limitations have\u00a0prevented routine, cost-effective access to these\u00a0remote regions, and the final 4500m of the ocean\u00a0remain largely unexplored. New solutions to deep\u00a0diving are described. The Nereus hybrid remotely\u00a0operated vehicle (HROV) is designed for exploration\u00a0and research needs as a single system. It can operate\u00a0as an autonomous vehicle for seafloor surveys, or in\u00a0a tethered\/ROV mode to sample rocks or deep-sea\u00a0animals The HROV Nereus transforms between its\u00a0two modes of operation to accomplish all these tasks\u00a0during a single cruise deployment. Sea trials of Nereus\u00a0took place off the Hawaiian Islands at 2500m in\u00a0November 2007. An overview of the vehicle and results\u00a0from its initial trials are reported here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nereus Hybrid Underwater Robotic Vehicle A.D.
