Three air pressure sensors are installed at the tip of the finger to detect the contacting force at the points. To obtain a nominal contact force at the finger from data from the three air pressure sensors, a force estimation was developed based upon the learning of a deep neural network. The data from the three air pressure sensors were utilized as inputs to estimate the contact force at the finger. In the tactile module, the arrival time of the air pressure sensor data has been utilized to recognize the contact point of the robot finger against an object. Using the three air pressure sensors and arrival time, the finger location can be divided into 3 \u00d7 3 block locations. The resolution of the contact point recognition was improved to 6 \u00d7 4 block locations on the finger using an artificial neural network. The accuracy and effectiveness of the tactile module were verified using real grasping experiments. With this stable grasping, an optimal grasping force was estimated empirically with fuzzy rules for a given object.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20216390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,10]],"date-time":"2020-11-10T14:10:41Z","timestamp":1605017441000},"page":"6390","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Artificial Intelligence-Based Optimal Grasping Control"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1674-1263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dongeon","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Pusan National University, Jangjeon-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 609-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonghak","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Pusan National University, Jangjeon-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 609-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0121-855X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wan-Young","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Pukyong National University, Daeyeon 3-dong, Nam-gu, Busan 608-737, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jangmyung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Pusan National University, Jangjeon-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 609-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2101","DOI":"10.1109\/LRA.2019.2899192","article-title":"From Pixels to Percepts: Highly Robust Edge Perception and Contour Following Using Deep Learning and an Optical Biomimetic Tactile Sensor","volume":"4","author":"Lepora","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Robot.
