Purpose In the context of minimally invasive neurosurgery, steerable needles such as the
one developed within the Horizon2020-funded EDEN2020 project (Frasson et al. in Proc …

Using the recently developed variational theory of hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent
structures (LCSs), we introduce a computational approach that renders attracting and …

G01 codes generated by CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) system are the most
common form of tool path in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining. For the …

Depending on driver intention and current motion state of vehicle, an infinite set of possible
future trajectories exists. In this paper we present a stochastic filter which is able to select a …

Cold bent glass is a promising and cost-efficient method for realizing doubly curved glass
façades. They are produced by attaching planar glass sheets to curved frames and must …

The problem of constructing a plane polynomial curve with given end points and end
tangents, and a specified arc length, is addressed. The solution employs planar quintic …

Modeling energy-minimizing curves have many applications and are a basic problem of
Geometric Modeling. In this paper, we propose the method for geometric design of energy …

Given two data points and the associated unit tangents, cubic G 1 Hermite interpolation is a
simple and efficient scheme to construct fair curves by optimizing certain energy functionals …

We present a model predictive controller (MPC) for multi-contact locomotion where
predictive optimizations are realized by time-optimal path parameterization (TOPP). A key …

The shape optimization of interpolation curves is a crucial and intractable technique in
scientific visualization, data analysis, manufacturing and computer-aided design and is …
