Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar announced a collaboration with robotics company FieldAI on Sept. 5, 2026, aimed at bringing physical AI and autonomous systems to construction sites and industrial environments, according to Automation News. The companies plan to combine Caterpillar's operational data and engineering with FieldAI's robot foundation models, along with NVIDIA computing and digital twin tools.

  • 01Caterpillar and FieldAI are combining industrial expertise with AI-enabled robot foundation models for construction and industrial site automation.
  • 02Planned applications include autonomous inspections for safety, digital twins for operational insight, and AI-driven simulation for industrial operations.
  • 03The partnership will use NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse for robot-agnostic autonomy technology across multiple robotic platforms.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments
