A novel soft robot mimicking the human tongue's motion is proposed for the purpose of measuring the tongue movement and interaction with its surrounding in vitro. In order to gain verisimilitude and flexibility, the robotic tongue is simplified from a biological tongue and is made of soft materials, including silicone rubber forming the extensible layer and polydimethylsiloxane composing the less...
The structure of a novel soft robot which can mimic a few movements of human tongue was designed with a series of embedded chambers using pneumatic actuation pattern. Two silicone materials (Ecoflex 0030 and PDMS) were chosen to fabricate the body of the robot. FEM simulations have been carried out using software Abaqus. Four types of deformation have been achieved in simulation including roll, groove,...
