Most path planning algorithms for covering a complex 3D object ignore physical limitations or constraints on a robot's motion. Adhering to such constraints for a given path can slow down the time to cover the path because the motion may need to be adjusted. This work considers a scenario in computer numerical control (CNC) milling applications, where the robot is a cutting tool that needs to cover...
