Soft robotic systems present a variety of new opportunities for solving complex problems. The use of soft robotic grippers, for example, can simplify the complexity in tasks such as the grasping of irregular and delicate objects. Adoption of soft rob

Some materials are strong in response to a slowly applied deformation, yet weak when subject to rapid deformations—a materials property known as strain-rate softening1. Snow exhibits such behaviour: it is comparatively strong at low deformation rat
