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...
