Path optimization algorithm and its robustness for bevel tip flexible needle

Bevel tip flexible needle is a novel application in minimally invasive surgery, for it can avoid obstacles by performing a curved trajectory to reach the target. In clinical surgeries, path optimization is a basis for a robot-assisted surgery, and robustness is a crucial issue for an algorithm. Howe...
