Inquiry about Autonomous Surface Vehicle Simulation (MATLAB/Simulink)
I am a student with a strong interest in autonomous surface vehicles and control systems.
At the moment, I am working on modeling the dynamic motion of a vessel. My work includes:
Dynamic modeling of the ship
Implementation of a PID controller combined with fuzzy logic
Application of the ILOS (Integral Line-Of-Sight) guidance algorithm
Point-to-point trajectory tracking
In addition, I have been studying key references such as Handbook of Marine Craft Hydrodynamics and Motion Control and Guidance and Control of Ocean Vehicles by Thor I. Fossen to strengthen my theoretical foundation.
However, I still feel that my understanding is limited, especially in terms of improving control performance and system stability in more complex scenarios.
If possible, I would greatly appreciate any advice, learning resources, or guidance you could share regarding:
What resources (books, papers, or courses) you found most helpful when learning this topic
How you approached self-learning in autonomous vessel simulation and control
Improving simulation accuracy
Advanced control strategies for autonomous vessels
Best practices when working with MATLAB/Simulink in this field
Thank you very much for your time and for sharing such valuable content. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
