The paper presents a new methodology to solve the actuation and modelling problems of a soft-bodied swallowing robot (SR), developed for human swallow evaluation. To solve the actuation problem, a central pattern generator (CPG) based novel actuation scheme is developed and implemented to generate peristalsis in the robot. Machine learning based technique is used to determine the governing dynamics...
Dysphagia, the medical term for swallowing disorders, is a major problem for the elderly, leading to low quality of life, high cost of care, and at times, to death. One approach to improving the safety and efficiency of the swallowing process in dysphagic patients is to provide foods with modified viscosities. In this study, a bioinspired swallowing robot with an embedded stretchable deformation sensor...
