Abstract
Robotics are effectively utilized in the field of speech therapy because, most of the people affected by the apraxia speech problem which is one of the neurological disorder. This disorder occurred due to the Alzheimer disease, stroke that affects the movement of mouth severely. These neurological disease affected people requires more attention while training the speech therapy. Traditional approaches are fail to manage the accuracy while making training also consumes more time to get result. So, in this paper introduces the metaheuristic optimized algorithm called artificial cuckoo immune system method to examine the mouth posterior which helps to provide the speech therapy with the help of robotics. This process helps to perform therapy session in both partial as well as automatic manner. The efficiency of robotic speech therapy process is analyzed using MATLAB based experimental process. During this process introduced system ensures 96.8% of accuracy, 97.1% of precision value, 96.9% of recall value and 98.2% of F1-score value.
