About

Xuebin Lin is a distinguished researcher in construction robotics and tunnel engineering, with a focus on automating high-risk, labor-intensive tasks in underground infrastructure. His key research areas include robotic manipulation, multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) systems, and intelligent construction machinery. Lin’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on the "Automatic Tunnel Shotcrete Robot" (2019), which addresses the critical challenge of automating shotcrete application in tunnel support—a process traditionally performed manually under hazardous conditions. This innovation reduces human exposure to harsh tunnel environments and high labor demands, significantly improving worker safety and construction efficiency. With 11 citations, this paper has laid foundational groundwork for further advances in autonomous tunneling systems. Lin’s research bridges mechanical design, control systems, and real-world construction needs, demonstrating a clear impact on both academic robotics and practical civil engineering. His work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in field robotics, human-robot collaboration, and the application of automation to improve occupational health in heavy industries.
