Planning Curvature and Torsion Constrained Ribbons in 3D With Application to Intracavitary Brachytherapy
2015
IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering
A "ribbon" is a surface traced out by sweeping a constant width line segment along a spatial curve. We consider the problem of planning multiple disjoint and collision-free ribbons of finite thickness along curvature and torsion constrained curves in 3D space. This problem is motivated by the need to route multiple smooth channels through a 3D printed structure for a healthcare application and is relevant to other applications such as defining cooling channels inside turbine blades, routing
