Abstract
The nonlinear ship autopilot controller design by using discrete variable structure control theory is researched in this paper.The sliding surface is determined by the state variable feedback li-nearization method and the variable structure control law is designed by the reaching law approach.The simulation results show that the controller designed here can track a desired course fast and accurately.It also exhibits strong robustness peculiarity to system uncertainties.
