| Abstract: In this paper, a heading controller based on a self-tuning fuzzy strategy for a robotic dolphin is proposed to improve control accuracy and stability. The structure of the robotic dolphin is introduced and the turning motion is analysed. The analytic model indicates that the turning joint angle can be employed for the heading control. This non-linear model prevents the successful application of traditional model-based controllers. A fuzzy controller is proposed to realize the heading control in our work. It should be mentioned that the traditional fuzzy controller suffers from a distinguished steady-state error, due to the fact that the heading range is relatively large and the fuzzy controller's universe of discourse is fixed. To resolve this problem, a self-tuning mechanism is employed to adjust the input and output scaling factors according to the active working region in pursuit of favourable performance. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller in terms of steady-state error and robustness to interferences.
