Intelligent Shield Machines: The Application of Advanced Technologies in Tunnel Construction explores both theoretical and practical engineering applications for new technologies and machines. Machines have long been used in tunnelling as a result of their high reliability, high efficiency, and high value-added, providing a fast digging speed, high construction quality, and low impact on the surrounding environment. However, with the rapid development of new-generation information technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence technology, the field of shield equipment offers even greater potential. Introduces the concept and application of artificial intelligence and other new intelligent construction technologies to shield tunnel boring machines for the first time Integrates many new technologies - such as artificial intelligence, big data, and robotics technology - to intelligent shield tunnelling Provides solutions to many existing engineering problems by using intelligent, efficient, and safe shield machines
