Doosan Bobcat Introduces Smarter Machines for Simplified Operations

Las Vegas, Jan. 5, 2026 – Doosan Bobcat Inc., a distinguished leader in the compact construction equipment industry, made headlines at CES 2026 with its unveiling of a series of transformative technologies. These innovations are tailored to enhance work efficiency and simplify equipment operation, thus enabling operators to perform tasks with enhanced confidence and effectiveness.

Scott Park, CEO and Vice Chairman of Doosan Bobcat, emphasized the company's legacy of innovation over nearly seven decades, stating, "Bobcat has led the compact equipment industry by solving real problems for real people. Today, as job sites evolve, we are introducing intelligent systems aimed at facilitating smarter and faster outcomes for our users. These advancements are not just visionary; they’re shaping how work is done right here and now."

Bobcat Jobsite Companion: Revolutionizing User Interaction

At the heart of Doosan Bobcat’s latest offerings is the Bobcat Jobsite Companion, the industry's first AI-enabled feature crafted for compact construction machines. This groundbreaking prototype technology provides real-time assistance and automation for a myriad of tasks. Users can interact with the system through voice commands or display prompts, allowing the machine to adapt its settings based on the environmental demands. With the ability to automate over 50 functions while keeping hands on controls, the Jobsite Companion significantly enhances the user experience.

The system operates using Bobcat’s own AI language model, entirely onboard the machine, ensuring seamless functionality in remote job sites lacking robust internet connectivity. Joel Honeyman, Vice President of Global Innovation at Doosan Bobcat, noted, "Jobsite Companion lowers the barrier for novice operators while aiding seasoned professionals to work more efficiently. It transforms the operator's experience, providing expert-level guidance right from the cab."

Service.AI: Ensuring Maximum Uptime

In addition to the Jobsite Companion, Doosan Bobcat announced Service.AI, designed to minimize equipment downtime. This AI-driven service and support platform enables technicians and dealers to access repair manuals, warranty details, and diagnostic guidance instantly. With Service.AI, the complexities of equipment repair are simplified, providing a master technician’s expertise at their fingertips. This innovation addresses the critical labor shortages in the current workforce by accelerating the repairs needed to maintain equipment health and functionality.

Collision Warning and Avoidance System: Enhancing Jobsite Safety

Doosan Bobcat also showcased its Collision Warning and Avoidance System, currently unique in the compact equipment realm. This innovative technology utilizes state-of-the-art imaging radar to monitor nearby hazards, actively alerting the operator and automatically slowing or stopping the machine when a potential collision is detected. As customer testing validates its effectiveness, this system is addressing key safety concerns while ensuring operators remain aware without complicating their responsibilities.

Advanced Display Technology: A New Perspective on Operations

Accompanying these advancements is the Advanced Display Technology, featuring a MicroLED, transparent, auto-tint touch-enabled screen integrated seamlessly within the machine cab. This display provides vital operational information alongside live views of the job site, allowing operators to manage the workflow more effectively. Features include 360-degree camera views, collision alerts, job site displays, and real-time machine performance metrics, ensuring that operators have all necessary data at a glance.

RogueX3: The Future of Autonomous Machines

On the cutting edge of innovation, Doosan Bobcat presented the RogueX3, its most advanced concept machine yet. Fully electric and autonomous, the RogueX3 introduces unprecedented modularity, adapting to diverse job site requirements. The showcased model operates autonomously or remotely without a traditional operator cab, demanding flexibility and versatility tailored to specific operational tasks. The machine’s modular design allows for various configurations, increasing its adaptability for future markets.

BSUP: Powering a Greener Future

Complementing the electric machinery is the Bobcat Standard Unit Pack (BSUP) battery system, which is engineered for rapid charging and modularity. Designed for challenging job site conditions, BSUP units offer scalable power solutions that meet the needs of various compact equipment, enabling operations that are cleaner, quieter, and more adaptable.

Together, these innovations: Jobsite Companion, Service.AI, Collision Warning and Avoidance Systems, Advanced Display Technology, RogueX3, and BSUP, form a cohesive framework to redefine operational capabilities on modern job sites.

Scott Park remarked, "We are not merely envisioning the future; we are actively crafting it. By uniting AI, autonomy, electrification, and connectivity, Bobcat is empowering individuals, streamlining tasks, and establishing new benchmarks for the industry."

Attendees at CES 2026 are invited to explore these remarkable innovations at the Doosan booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall 5840, where technology meets practical application in the field of compact construction equipment.
