A physical figure model of lips were made. In previous studies, tongue models consisting of intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles were made using viscoelastic material of urethane rubber gel. At this time, as other important speech articulators, upper and lower lips are modeled using urethane rubber gel. Also, a movable jaw model is made from plastic cray. The lips model is placed on the jaw model. As the lips model is made from viscoelastic material similar to human skin, reshaping and moving lips are possible by pulling or moving lips and jaw by hand to emulate speech articulation of lips and jaw. Orofacial muscles such as orbicularis oris, levator labii superioris, levator anguli oris, depressor anguli oris, depressor labii inferioris, and mentalis are considered for lip motions with the figure model. The proposed model is useful for speech science education or a future speaking robot development based on realistic speech production mechanisms.
