This study introduces a framework to monolithically 3D print highly bioinspired hands, composed of soft and stiff segments, using cost‐effective desktop printers. A magnetic resonance imaging‐informed approach replicates key anatomical features, such as collateral ligaments and volar plates, enabling enhanced functionality and human‐like behavior. This

Friction and Wear Behavior of Laser‐Induced Graphene Structures on Polyimide Films
This study presents an investigation into the friction and wear behavior of laser‐induced graphene (LIG). Introducing line patterns of different sizes with this laser scribing approach results in a lowering of the coefficient of friction. The gradual wear of the protruding LIG patterns and the formation of wear debris are explored.

Soft Robots Proprioception Through Stretchable Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensors
This study demonstrates the potential of laser‐induced graphene and silicone sensors for soft pneumatic grippers’ proprioception. The sensors are thin, stretchable, mechanically transparent, and easy to integrate. Finite‐element method analysis identifies the finger's neutral bending plane and four sensor positions are tested to validate the ...
