Adaptive Neural-Based Fuzzy Inference System Approach Applied to Steering Control

We applied adaptive neural-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach to the process control of ship automation manipulating systems. This paper studied the design of ANFIS controller for ship steering control system. Using BP algorithm to the learning of premise parameters, while least square algorithm to the learning of consequent parameters, we applied ANFIS approach to ship autopilot. To perform the ship task of steering a ship effectively, a ship autopilot system based oil ANFIS approach is designed for various Outer Surroundings at sea in performing course keeping, course-changing more robustly. The simulating results by Matlab indicate that the performance of ANFIS controller is valuable and easy to implement.
