Fig 7. Probe experimental assessment: FTL deployment.
(A-H) Probe deployment over a circular trajectory with a radius of curvature as low as twice the probe diameter. (I) Image overlay based on the sequence of images in A-H: the probe accurately achieves FTL deployment. (J-L) Probe deployment over a double curvature trajectory (example frames and image overlay): FTL deployment can be achieved, even if it is more challenging than deployment over a single curvature track. (The wires extending beyond the distal disk of the LCR are the continuation of the connecting wires; they were left after assembly just for ease of handling.)
