One problem of ship steering systems is that the dynamics of the vessel are dependent on the forward speed. Since artificial neural networks can provide a nonlinear controller which performs well for a wide range of plant dynamics, such networks are of potential interest for ship steering applications. This paper describes simulation studies in which a feed-forward network is trained to behave like a feedback linearization controller. Results suggest that the approach can yield a control system having a satisfactory level of performance for a range of operating conditions. The choice of network configuration and training data sets are, however, of considerable importance.
