Abstract

This paper describes simulation of navigating a sailboat around obstacles to a goal as quickly and safely as possible. Navigation strategies using concepts from fuzzy control are compared with more conventional ones through application at the levels of choosing an optimal heading and steering the sailboat towards that heading.
