Swallow is one of the crucial functions for human living, but the number of the patients with dysphasia is increasing. The mechanism has not been elucidated so far, because swallow is a very fast reflex action that happens inside the body. These days, instruments for observing swallow have been developed, for example, Cine MRI, X-ray video, and endoscopy, and they supply the fundamental information to analyze it. And it is necessary to verify the information that Cine MRI and X-ray video supply from mechanical point of view because we are not able to understand the powers or the movements of muscles from only images of Cine MRI and X-ray video. Therefore, we are developing the prototype of swallowing robot. In this paper, the analysis results by Cine MRI and X-ray video, and the organs form cavitas oris of the swallowing robot to that is made to verify them is presented.
