Open-loop "control" example

This notebook assumes that the definitions in "manipulator_defs.nb" have already been evaluated, and allows the user to conduct sophisticated control experiments. All required user inputs can be specified in the Global user definitions section and in the Experiment-specific user definitions sections. The Control experiment sections that follow the Experiment-specific user definitions sections conduct the actual simulations. Note that the Global sections need to be only evaluated once for any given manipulator. To save more than two control experiments, you can duplicate the Experiment-specific user definitions and Control experiment pair of sections as many times as you want. The  Animation section at the end of this notebook allows you to animate any given control experiment, showing both the desired as well as the actual manipulator trajectories.
