Compared with human beings, autopilots have advantages in controlling ships in higher precision. However, due to disturbances caused by sea wind, wave, flow and some other uncertainties such as variance of ship physical parameters, how to control autopilots properly is a very difficult problem. An autopilot based on fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm is designed to make a ship follow "virtual course angle", which is calculated from real course angle and track deflection. Simulation results show that the ship follows the desired track satisfactorily.
