Research Abstract

For monitoring feeling of a preterm infant in a developmental care and a fetus in a uterine environment, and for an examination of our nervous system model of fetus, we developed a fetus and preterm infant robot whose weight and height are equivalent to 35 gestational weeks fetus and preterm infant: The weight is 2.5 kg and the height is 46 cm. The form of the body is based on the form of real human fetus and the body is constructed by a 3D printer. The robot is driven by McKibben-type pneumatic actuators. We will use the robot for comparing the feeling of fetus and preterm infant in respective environments numerically and implement a nervous system model that we already have proposed for human fetus to validate in the real world.
