Abstract
A system can include a continuous circulation subcomponent, a robotic device, and a control system. The subcomponent can include a receiving area and can be associated with a drilling operation for forming a wellbore. The robotic device can include an end effector that can include a sensing device and tools corresponding to operations to facilitate continuous circulation in the wellbore. The control system can cause the robotic device to perform operations. The robotic device can align the end effector with the receiving area. The robotic device can determine whether a leak is present at the receiving area. The robotic device can connect, disconnect, or a combination thereof the diversion line with the receiving area to allow the continuous circulation during the drilling operation.
