The 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) model with a high degree of complexity for capturing ship
dynamics is generally able to track the nonlinear and coupling dynamics of ships. However …

The main goal of the research is to design an efficient controller for a dynamic positioning
system for autonomous surface ships using the backstepping technique for the case of full …

The combination of least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) and cuckoo search (CS)
algorithm was first proposed to identify the dynamic models of unmanned surface vehicle …

The paper undertakes the subject of spatial data pre-processing for marine mobile
information systems. Short review of maritime information systems is given and the focus is …

The 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) model, including surge motion, sway motion and yaw
motion, with differential thruster is proposed to describe the unmanned surface vehicle …

This paper addresses the global generalised exponential/finite-time control of the nonlinear
ship course system with an unknown control coefficient. Different from the well-known …

The paper is devoted to the problem of control law optimization for marine ships, which are
steered by autopilots under the action of sea disturbances, mainly determined by bias terms …

To promise the high fidelity of path following control for the underactuated ship from the
aspect of the nautical practice, this paper develops a nonlinear feedback-based control …

ABSTRACT A consistent approach to the development of tuning rules for course-keeping
and path-tracking PID controllers for a ship autopilot are presented. The consistency comes …

The article presents an original design of an expert system, whose function is to
automatically stabilize ship's course. The focus is put on the inference engine, a mechanism …
