Abstract
An apparatus and method of drilling a wellbore using a drill string, one or more controllers, and one or more sensors. The method includes drilling the wellbore using the drill string; and measuring, by the sensor(s), a parameter. The method also includes, using the controller(s) to: calculate an efficiency parameter based on the measured parameter; calculate a difference between the calculated efficiency parameter and a target efficiency parameter; and generate instructions to reduce the difference. The method also includes implementing, by a controller, instructions to reduce the difference between the measured efficiency parameter and the target efficiency parameter.
