🚢 Autonomous Ship Navigation (2D)

Top-down 2D Nomoto maneuvering model with a PID autopilot: steer a vessel by rudder and throttle, or hand off to autopilot and watch it home in on waypoints through sea-state drift.

This 2D companion drives the same first-order Nomoto maneuvering model and PID heading autopilot as the 3D original, viewed from directly above: a rudder and throttle steer a vessel around a circular arena, or an autopilot toggle hands control to the PID law, homing the ship in on a waypoint buoy through sea-state current drift.
