Abstract
To control an automatic steering appropriately regardless of a ship speed, an automatic steering device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires motion information including a ship length and a ship speed. The processing circuitry identifies a non-dimensionalizing motion parameter based on the ship length and the motion information. The processing circuitry generates a dimensionalizing motion parameter by dimensionalizing the non-dimensionalizing motion parameter based on the ship speed. The processing circuitry sets a control parameter of the model-based controller based on the dimensionalizing motion parameter.
