Abstract
A system and method can include a module including at least one actuation assembly configured to transition between an inactive configuration and an active configuration. The system include at least one sensor configured to obtain data that is indicative of an operating parameter, and at least one processor configured to be electronically coupled to the guidance module and the at least one sensor. The at least one processor is configured to, in response to 1) input received from the at least one sensor that is indicative of the measured operating parameter, and 2) received input that is indicative of an actual drilling direction that is deviated from the predetermined drilling direction, adjust an extent that the actuation assembly is in the active configuration.
