Test Case 2: Cylindrical Obstacles. The size and close proximity of the cylindrical obstacles introduces narrow passages in the steerable needle’s configuration space. (a) Optimal needle trajectory (shown in red) that minimizes the needle insertion depth (αl = 1, αo = 0). (b) Optimal needle trajectory that maximizes the clearance from the obstacles (αl = 0, αo = 1).
