WHOI also has developed numerous underwater autonomous and remotely operated vehicles for research:
* [[DSV Alvin|''Alvin'' (DSV-2)]] – human-occupied vehicle, the institution's most well-known equipment
* [[Deepsea Challenger]] – human-occupied vehicle designed, field-tested, and later donated to the WHOI by Canadian film director [[James Cameron]]<ref>{{cite magazine |url= http://www.whoi.edu/news-release/deepsea_challenger|title= James Cameron Partners With WHOI|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date= 26 March 2013|magazine= National Geographic|access-date=27 March 2013}}</ref>
* ''[[Jason (ROV)|Jason]]'' – a [[remotely operated vehicle]] (ROV)
