Simulated helmsmen are treated as individuals in population, which through environmental sensing and evolutionary algorithms learns to perform given task efficiently. The task is: safe navigation through heavy wind channels. Neuroevolutionary algorithms, which develop artificial neural networks through evolutionary operations, have been applied in this system. %@ 2083-6473
