Autonomous Robots and Utilization in Logistics Process

Abstract

The autonomous robots are required in our logistics operations? It is one of the crucial questions that asked to him by logistics managers. Depending on technological developments, some requirements, which can be defined as speed, lower cost, and high quality, have become more important to stay in a highly competitive environment for companies and supply chains compared with the past. Autonomous robotic systems can help to reach these aims. They can provide a more safe working environment in warehouses, distribution centers, and other logistics facilities. İn addition to that, they can provide opportunities for carrying out lower costly, speedy, and quality logistics operations. Furthermore, robotic systems continue to improve, and creating more specific robotics that will be used in the field of logistics will be possible in the near future. Moreover, robotic systems becoming smart and autonomous thanks to artificial intelligence, developed sensors, and trainability. In the future, requirements for human force may reduce in logistics operations since robotics may carry out logistics activities autonomously depending on these technological improvements. Finally, autonomous robots can provide opportunities for carrying out more quality and excellent logistics operations to logistics managers and staff in the near future. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
