  • Abstract
    The optimisation of a nonlinear control problem by genetic algorithm (GA) is studied in this paper. It involves the performance of a fully autonomous control system for regulating the course keeping manoeuvres of an oil tanker. This control system consists of an autopilot and a sliding mode controller (SMC). The GA is used to optimise the performance of the complete system by optimising the parameters of the SMC
