“…Future research will focus on adaptive fuzzy output feedback fault-tolerant control for the intelligent ship autopilot system. Although some progress has been achieved, there are still some other challenges in the field, for instance, periodic event-triggered synchronization (Ding et al, 2021), reinforcement learning , neural network (Bai, Zhou, et al, 2020), leader-follower (Shao et al, 2020), TS fuzzy systems (Wu & Dong, 2018), disturbance rejection , adaptive disturbance estimation , robust synchronization (Hu, Wei, et al, 2021) etc., which will be our future research direction.…”
