Control for autonomous all-electric ships: Integrating maneuvering, energy management, and power generation control

In the last few years, autonomous shipping has been under extensive consideration by academic and industrial communities as well as governmental organizations due to several potential advantages that it introduces. Furthermore, due to the drastic environmental consequences of transport overwater, international organizations have enforced the...

Adaptive control for autonomous ships with uncertain model and unknown propeller dynamics

Motion control is one of the most critical aspects in the design of autonomous ships. During maneuvering, the dynamics of propellers as well as the craft hydrodynamical specifications experience severe uncertainties. In this paper, an adaptive control approach is proposed to control the motion and trajectory tracking of an autonomous vessel...
