This is Dento - Munch , a robot developed by scientists to assist with research into dental product . Kazem Alemzadeh of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory is one of the
engineer behind the team , at Britain ’s Bristol University , and he reckons that Dento - Munch could cut down the time needed to trial new product , as machines up until now have been inadequate imitators of humans .
Dento - Munch ’s upper and lower “ jaws ” consist of two platform . The low one is capable of moving six degrees of freedom ( unlike the current lab simulators , which are only up to of 2 degree ) and can move and circumvolve up and down , forwards and back , and leave and right – just like its human twin .
The software that controls the golem ’s motor and gearboxes respond to burden as brawn and tendon does , and the mastication is slowed when electrical resistance is high ( and bucket along up when it is grim ) thanks to feedback loops in the system .
Mr Alemzadeh also believe that the machine will work for research on ankles , as the movement in the articulatio that links the foot to the peg is similar to masticate .
