Manipulation of flexible objects is one of the major challenges in robotics as the nonlinear dynamics of the high-dimensional object structure makes it difficult to apply current control methods. A previous simulation study showed that control with few pre-structured joint trajectories coupled with joint impedance (dynamic primitives) could control a 25-dimensional whip to hit a target. This was p...
