A ship automatic navigation in dynamic environment using artificial intelligence

Discusses automatic navigation of a ship using the features of fuzzy control in a dynamic sea environment. On the deep sea, because spatial limitations don´t exist, the need for automatic navigation for obstacle avoidance is small, but on inshore waters, because of the many obstacles (e.g. islands, other ships, etc.), the need for automatic navigation for avoidance is great. Therefore, we used a multivariable fuzzy logic control (M-FLC) system for safer automatic navigation. The fuzzy control system showed that it had an excellent performance in a dynamic environment. Thus, if the fuzzy control system proposed were used, we would expect a good performance
