The research done by the Soga Research Group on the application of AI and ML for tunneling is highlighted by Sixense Group. In brief, Dayu Apoji, a Ph.D. researcher in SRG, is trying to build “a brain” for tunnel boring machines (TBM) using machine learning algorithms so that this giant machine can make perception from enormous tunneling data (both from the machine sensors and ground instruments) and assist TBM operators and tunnel engineers on the real-time decision-making process. The research aims to provide a more systematic framework in tunneling practices and pushing forward the level of automation in the construction industry.
