Robotic Models of the Masticatory System -- Mastication Robot of Linear Actuation -- Mastication Robot of Crank Actuation -- Mastication Robot of a Crank-Slider Linkage -- Measurement and Reproduction of Mastication Movement -- Robotic Chewing Experiments -- Understanding Food Texture Using Masticatory Robots -- Neural Control of a Mastication Robot -- Knowledge System of Human Chewing Behaviours.

Mastication Robotics: Biological Inspiration to Implementation is the first book in the special field of masticatory robots for applications including foods texture analysis, dental training and speech therapy. It is a collection of the efforts we have made in the field at Massey University, New Zealand. The book provides a thorough review of the human masticatory system, and presents principles, analysis, design, simulations and experiments of a number of masticatory robots developed by the authors. This book is a valuable reference for researchers, engineers and graduates in the field of robotics, mechatronics, automatic control, artificial intelligence and food sciences.
