on ships of the Navy. One of the common misconceptions

is that many people believe that modern warships all jobs is a place with buttons, dials, and the sailors spend all their working hours sitting at a screen by tapping on the keyboard and clicking the mouse. In fact, maintaining the health and readiness of even the most modern vessel calls from some members of the crew quite serious physical effort. Mariners no longer have to set sail or move the hand gun, but working with a hammer, rivet tools and grinders is the usual work on a modern ship.

start using exoskeletons with electric drive, such as HULC from

companies Lockheed Martin and XOS 2 from the company Raytheon, but these exoskeletons, primarily designed for use on the battlefield in order to reduce the load on soldiers compelled many to move quickly and with a fairly heavy load. Exoskeleton Fortis, on the contrary, is designed to perform daily work, it is an analogue of the external metal skeleton, which assumes the weight of heavy objects and redirects it past the body to the surface. It allows people to lift objects weighing 16 kilos as if they weigh nothing, and retrofitting exoskeleton Fortis mechanical "hand" ZeroG Equipois, thus reducing the burden on the person to perform a variety of works by 300 percent, which increases productivity by 200 - 2700 percent.

Martin will deliver multiple instances exoskeletons Fortis. These devices serve

for extensive testing, people wearing them will work with many different types of hand tools, performing a variety of work. This will reveal all the shortcomings of the apparatus, which later will certainly find application in more peaceful areas.

Thanks to a specially developed construction, the exoskeleton Fortis can be used for a wide variety of body positions. It works effectively and in a standing position, sitting, and in the "kneeling". Thanks to the clips exoskeleton easily adapted to carry people completely different body, but it does not prevent the wearing of the mobility and flexibility of the human body.
