# Autonomous Excavator Vehicles The Doosan Infracore CONCEPT-X Can Operate 24-Hours a Day By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-09-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doosan-infracore-conceptx References: [thegadgetflow](https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/doosan-infracore-conceptx-unmanned-excavator-has-wheel-loader-is-supervised-by-drones/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thegadgetflow+%28Gadget+Flow%29) & [ifworlddesignguide](https://ifworlddesignguide.com/entry/309509-concept-x?utm_source=GadgetFlow&utm_medium=GadgetFlow&utm_campaign=GadgetFlow&utm_content=GadgetFlow) The [Doosan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobcat-s7x) Infracore CONCEPT-X excavator has been designed as a conceptual construction site vehicle that would provide administrators with the ability to get job site activities done like never before. The vehicle maintains an [unmanned design that would function autonomously](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doosan-robotics) and be monitored by drones to keep an eye on the progress. The unit would be capable of operating on a 24-hour basis to allow for jobs to continue all day instead of requiring essential breaks like human operators. The Doosan Infracore CONCEPT-X excavator would be incorporated with a [failure prediction system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offhighway-equipment) that would help to reduce maintenance costs by enabling components to be replaced before failing. The unit would be focused on limitless potential and quality, but also precision and safety. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Autonomous Construction Vehicles:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop more types of autonomous construction vehicles that can operate on a 24-hour basis, reducing the need for human operators and increasing productivity. - **Unmanned Heavy Machinery:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to incorporate drones and other monitoring systems to manage and monitor unmanned heavy machinery to improve safety and precision. - **Predictive Maintenance Systems:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to create more efficient and cost-saving predictive maintenance systems for construction equipment to reduce downtime and save on maintenance costs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** The construction industry has a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop and utilize more autonomous and unmanned heavy machinery to increase efficiency and productivity. - **Transportation and Logistics:** The transportation and logistics industry has a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop and deploy more drone-based monitoring and management systems for unmanned heavy machinery and construction sites. - **Predictive Maintenance:** The predictive maintenance industry has a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop and implement more advanced and efficient maintenance systems for heavy machinery, such as the failure prediction system available on the Doosan Infracore CONCEPT-X excavator. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autonomous Earthwork Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ces-2025-john-deere.md) - [Energy-Efficient Electric Excavators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-excavator.md) - [Construction Autonomous Work Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-work-vehicle-1.md) - [Autonomous Farming Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-multiterrain-tractor.md) - [Autonomous Work Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-work-vehicle.md) - [Factory-Ready Cargo Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dex-autonomous-robot.md) - [All-Electric Skid-Steer Loaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobcat-s7x.md) - [Hybrid All-Terrain Construction Cranes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allterrain-construction-crane.md) - [Interactive Autonomous Cityscape Sweepers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-unmanned-sweeper-concept.md)
