Abstract
Fuzzy control is applied to the anti-rolling device of a high-speed catamaran boat in order to improve the system performance. A PID control was initially installed in the system, however no significant effects were observed for the passengers although instrumental data showed good results. The fuzzy system has shown good instrumental data but also provided good comfort ride for the passengers. Also, some experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed rolling fuzzy control for the high-speed catamaran boat.
