Doosan Bobcat Inc. will debut a range of new technologies at CES 2026, bringing artificial intelligence out of the cloud and directly onto construction jobsites. The company will showcase solutions designed to deliver smarter, more intuitive equipment that supports operators amid workforce changes, rising jobsite complexity, and equipment availability challenges.
As the construction sector undergoes major transformation, Doosan Bobcat is addressing three key industry pressures: workforce transitions, inconvenient equipment downtime, and increasingly complex jobsites. At CES 2026, the company will preview innovations developed with a human-first approach, aimed at making advanced technology more accessible in everyday operations.
Simplifying Equipment Operation
The construction industry faces a significant workforce shift, with 41% of the U.S. construction workforce expected to retire by 2031*. To support the next generation of operators, Doosan Bobcat will introduce AI-driven capabilities designed to simplify machine operation. These tools provide real-time guidance to help new operators perform complex tasks while enabling experienced operators to increase productivity and precision.
Reducing Downtime Through Faster Diagnostics
Unplanned downtime can halt progress, particularly for operators relying on a single machine. At CES 2026, Doosan Bobcat will showcase an AI-powered diagnostic solution that accelerates troubleshooting by providing technicians with rapid access to machine insights, historical repair knowledge, and guided support. The system is designed to keep equipment operational and projects on schedule.
Improving Jobsite Awareness
As jobsites grow more congested and dynamic, operator awareness becomes increasingly critical. Doosan Bobcat will preview radar-based technology that enhances situational awareness by detecting hazards and helping operators manage collision risks through real-time monitoring and intervention.
Additional Technology Debuts
Alongside its AI advancements, Doosan Bobcat will also introduce:
- A next-generation operator display that integrates critical jobsite information directly into the operator’s field of view
- A forward-looking concept machine
- A rugged, stackable electric power system for compact equipment
Together, these innovations reflect Doosan Bobcat’s vision of embedding AI and next-generation intelligence directly into machines—supporting productivity, safety, and ease of use at the jobsite.
Full details and live demonstrations will be revealed during Bobcat’s CES Media Days press conference on January 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., held at Mandalay Bay I. Visitors can experience the technologies firsthand at the Doosan booth, Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall, Booth #5840, during CES 2026 (January 6–9, Las Vegas, Nevada).
