Doosan Infracore has won a Gold Award at the International Forum Design (iF Design) Awards 2021 in Germany for its Concept-X excavator design. One of only 75 entries that have won a Gold Award from a total of 10,000 put forward from 52 countries, the Concept-X excavator design was chosen by a 98-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world.
The Doosan Concept-X excavator design
As a future-oriented unmanned construction machine, Doosan Infracore's Concept-X excavator design is characterized by no cab for the operator and the four separated continuous tracks constituting the lower part of the machine. The four-track configuration is advantageous for maintaining a stable position on uneven ground. The design proposes that all components except the excavator boom are to be motorized, with the circular indicator mounted on the joint areas providing easy recognition of the load.
Concept-X is the world's first unmanned automated and integrated control solution introduced by Doosan Infracore for construction, quarrying and mining sites in 2019. It can perform work unattended by having drones to measure the workplace, automatically analyze the data, establish the work plan and transfer the data to machinery such as excavators and wheel loaders.
