A marine autopilot is a closed-loop electronic system that automatically steers a vessel on a set course, using sensors (gyrocompass, GPS) to manage the rudder without constant human intervention. It reduces helmsman fatigue and improves fuel efficiency by preventing excessive steering adjustments. Common synonyms include autohelm and automatic pilot.
