For a parametric curve r(t), we find the osculating plane, radius of the osculating circle, and center of the osculating circle at t=0 using just the position vector r(0), the velocity vector r'(0), and the acceleration vector r''(0).
Here is the formula at the end:
Center = r + ||r'||^4/||r' x r''||^2 * (r'' - projection of r'' onto r').
