Recent advances in machine learning have triggered an enormous interest in using learning-based approaches for robot control and object manipulation. While the majority of existing algorithms are evaluated under the assumption that the involved bodies are rigid, a large number of practical applications contain deformable objects. In this work we focus on Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs) which can ...
