Implications Regarding the Logistical Integration of Exoskeleton-Type Robotic Systems

Abstract

Abstract The technological developments of the 2nd decade of the 21st century reveal the development of systems that facilitate economic operations within the economic and military supply chains to immediately meet the needs of consumption and use. Therefore, one of the technological systems with an important impact on the efficiency of carrying out specific operations in such systems is represented by the exoskeleton robotic system. This material approaches in a correlative manner the importance and role of exoskeleton-type robotic devices starting from the increased demands of the Future Soldier both on the operational line and in terms of adequate logistic support for its sustainment and self-sustainment. Therefore, even in the military logistics of the constitution combat forces of tactical and/or joint level, exoskeleton-type devices are used by military and civilian workers especially for carrying out activities appropriate to the loading and unloading of materials, in order to quickly respond to the requests for the timely granting of the complex logistical support both during the day, as well as at night. Moreover, this exoskeleton-type system can be easily used by logistics execution personnel who may also work in different areas of logistic support such as maintenance, movement and transportation, or medical support.
