Sinusoidal Peristaltic Waves in Soft Actuator for Mimicry of Esophageal Swallowing

In order to understand fluid transport throughout esophageal swallowing in man, a biologically inspired soft-robotic peristaltic actuator has been designed and manufactured to perform biomimetic swallowing. To achieve congruence with current mathematical modeling techniques for esophageal peristalsi...
