A rule-based approach to the ship roll stabilisation problem

From simulation results presented, it is been shown that the problem of rudder induced roll in modern warships can be overcome by using a suitable fuzzy controller. Whilst the fuzzy controller has proved successful, it does not have any form of internal performance assessment which may be used to update its effectiveness. A self-organising controller incorporates a performance assessment mode during its operation. It is considered that such a controller would overcome the problem of having multiple output fuzzy options and has been the subject of ongoing research activity
