A trajectory tracking control scheme is proposed in this paper to achieve unmanned underground construction of a new type of shaft boring machine. The body motion model is constructed, and the control relationship between the driving system and the body motion is deduced. MATLAB and Simulink simulate the joint of the track tracking process in the new shaft boring machine. The actual effect of the track tracking control scheme is validated by the track tracking field test of the new shaft boring machine. The results show that the new shaft boring machine can complete various complex track tracking tasks, with the maximum position error being less than 0.005 m. The running track and excavation areas of the boring machine are observed along with the track tracking field test of the new shaft boring machine, demonstrating that the track tracking control scheme makes the new shaft boring machine realize unmanned construction and verifies the co-simulation accuracy. The PID (proportional–integral–derivative control) algorithm can complete complex trajectory tracking tasks and promote the development of unmanned construction technology.
