Abstract

Swallow is one of the crucial function for human living, though the mechanism has not been elucidated so far. These days, Cine MRI and X ray video have been developed and they supply the fundamental information to analyze it. In this paper, the analysis results by Cine MRI and X ray video are shown and the prototype of swallow robot is presented.
