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.
