| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to fabricate swallowing robot for clarifying the swallowing mechanism. The structure was based on CT images, movement data was from the analysis of VF and cineMRI. Materials were plastic for skeletons and polyurethane for the tongue, and silicon for the pharyngeal wall. Robotic tongue included sheet springs which were retracted with sequence to make wave movement of its dorsal surface. Robotic tongue transferred hard jelly to the pharyngeal space.
