MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621050619 A) filed by Mahatma Education Societys Pillai College Of Engineering on April 21, 2026, for A Masticatory Robot For Occlusal Analysis.
Inventors include Babu, Binsu; Varkey, Benyamin Sunny; Thakur, Shubham; Rao, Miriyala Durga; and Pillai, Priam.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: A masticatory robot (100) for occlusal analysis is disclosed. The masticatory robot (100) includes a base assembly (110), an upper jaw assembly (120) fixed relative to the base assembly (110), and a lower jaw assembly (150) arranged below the upper jaw assembly (120). The lower jaw assembly (150) is movable and cooperates with a sliding mechanism (180) and the base assembly (110) to follow a guided path. A first servo drive transmission imparts lateral movement to the lower jaw assembly (150), while a second servo drive transmission imparts opening and closing movement. A control unit (not shown) actuates the servo drive transmissions individually and synchronously to generate lateral, vertical, and combined chewing movements, enabling controlled and repeatable occlusal interaction between upper dental tooth (126) and lower dental tooth (156).
