Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) CREATE Lab have developed the adaptive dexterous anthropomorphic programmable stiffness (ADAPT) robotic hand that performs human-like grasps. Through bio-inspired mechanics and the use of compliant materials, the ADAPT hand demonstrated its ability to grip up to 24 different objects, including bananas and bolts, using motions that naturally emerge from its physical design.

In many industrial setups, variable frequency drives (VFDs) are used to vary the rotation speed and direction of three-phase motors, allowing softer starts and stops. All VFD manufacturers offer models with different current, voltage, and horsepower ratings to suit custom motor control needs, most of which provide very similar control approaches. I have implemented a sample project for this tutorial using Mitsubishi's FR-D700 VFD, adding a PLC and an HMI. Figure 1.
