| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to develop a robot, i.e., a "power denture robot" that would assist the chewing and swallowing movements of elderly people without disabilities. As a first step, in this research, we tried to create a mechanism to compress things, which is the role of the molars and a mechanism to realize the function of grinding by friction. Measurement of the chewing value of the prototype mechanism showed a decreasing tendency for crushing by impact; however, it was suggested that chewing by combining rotation and groove was effective.
