Compliant Mechanism Soft Robot Design and Peristaltic Movement Optimization Using Random Search by L. A. Páramo-Carranza, A. Lopez-González, Juan C. Tejada

“…In this article, we use the concept of auxetic structures as inspiration for the design of a compliant mechanism that allows the integration of a soft robot whose movement is based on the peristaltic movements of invertebrates. The TPU mechanism allows for smooth movement of the robot using only two servo motors. …”

Monogenean Parasites of Fish by Peggy Reed, Ruth Francis-Floyd, RuthEllen Klinger, Denise Petty

“…Monogeneans are a class of parasitic flatworms that are commonly found on fishes and lower aquatic invertebrates. Most monogeneans are browsers that move about freely on the fish’s body surface feeding on mucus and epithelial cells of the skin and gills; however, a few adult monogeneans will remain permanently attached to a single site on the host. …”
