The Design of Ship Autopilot by Applying Observer - Based Feedback Linearization

The paper considers the problem of ship autopilot design based on Bech’s model of the vessel. Since the model is highly nonlinear and some of the state vector coordinates are unavailable, the control system synthesis is performed by means of an output feedback linearization method combined with a no...
