An autonomous drilling system for well construction activities comprises a data acquisition system collecting real-time data from sensors, including flowrate, pressure, and cuttings sensors. A digital twin framework simulates drilling operations and outputs predictions based on the collected data. An AI agent module analyzes the system by aggregating predictions, real-time data, and historical data to determine well health and recommend parameter adjustments. An integrated rig control system automates drilling operations based on these recommendations. A human-machine interface provides manual control options. The system includes flowrate sensors with flow meters, downhole sensors, and multiple digital twins simulating specific aspects of wellbore construction. The AI module can employ deep learning or reinforcement learning techniques. Cuttings sensors analyze volume to assess wellbore stability and hole cleaning efficiency. The system can transition between open and closed loop drilling operations based on AI recommendations.
