Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for automating toolface control of a drilling rig. Such apparatuses, methods, and systems may determine an average drilling resistance function during a rotary drilling segment and, based on the average drilling resistance function during the rotary drilling segment, determine a target set of oscillation values to be used during a slide drilling segment.
