A GAIN-SCHEDULING CONTROL STRATEGY AND SHORT-TERM PATH OPTIMIZATION WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION OF A SAILBOAT ROBOT

A gain-scheduling control strategy and short-term path optimization with genetic algorithm for autonomous navigation of a sailboat robot

The development of a navigation system for autonomous robotic sailing is a particularly challenging task since the sailboat robot uses unpredictable wind forces for its propulsion besides working in a highly nonlinear and harsh environment, the water.Toward solving the problems that appear in this kind of environment, we propose a navigation system
