Abstract
We propose the carbohydrate ingestion system of a self-sustainable robot. Based on the hardware requirements of this robot-, 1) Eating capability independent of postures, 2) Crushing food to obtain Carbohydrate, 3) Capable for continuous working. To meet them, propose system consist of 3 mechanisms: 1) Primary crusher, 2) Food holder, 3) Secondary crusher. Measuring energy consumption, we confirmed that positive energy balances when Carbohydrate response is ideal. These result show this system can be useful for the self-sustainable robot in this research.
