Hi Dmitri,
That is all I'm aware of, but I'm no expert. There was also a robot made at a UK university whose name I can't remember, but that is gone now I think.
Probably important to get a Speech and Language Therapist involved in terms of swallow and they also need some dedication in terms of the 'right kind of food' in my limited experience. I've not been very successful with them, but sure they can be - ACT run a clinic on this kind of thing so I imagine one of them will reply, or give them a bell for advice?
Cheers,
Simon
