Autonomous ships represent an emerging paradigm within the maritime sector, poised to
bring multiple advantages. Although numerous prototypes have been developed, the …

In recent decades, marine robots have become increasingly important for a wide range of
applications in bodies of water, including oceans, gulfs, and lakes. One type of unmanned …

This note deals with the waypoints-based path following control problem for the unmanned
sailboat robot (USR), aiming to obtain the speed controllable performance and tackle with …

This paper addresses the issue of waypoints-based path-following control for sailboats.
Based on the parameterized line-of-sight framework, a novel guidance principle for the …

This note aims to solve the speed optimization and path following control for sail-assisted
ships. The ideology of retrofitting a common bulk carrier with wing sails is investigated …

In this paper, the event-triggered composite adaptive fuzzy control laws are developed to
control both the surge speed and the heading angle of the sailboat. The fuzzy logic systems …

This paper addresses the path following of the autonomous wing-sailed catamaran from two
aspects, ie guidance and control. Through the real-time access to weather information and …

This paper addresses the issue of data-driven online velocity optimization of an autonomous
sailboat. Autonomous sailboats represent an ideal for long range and duration …

An iterative procedure to solve the nonlinear problem of fastest-path sailing vessel routing in
an environment with variable winds and currents is proposed. In the routing of a sailing …

This note focus on the waypoints-based path-following control for the unmanned sail-
assisted vehicles (USAV), aiming to release the constraints of the actuator failures and gain …
