Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for obtaining sensor data from sensors incorporated into a drill bit during a drilling operation to form a wellbore. The obtained sensor data may be used to control an aspect of the drilling operation. The sensors may be incorporated into drill bit cutters of a drill bit, a drill bit body of a drill bit, or both. Example sensors include acoustic sensors, pressure sensor, vibration sensor, accelerometers, gyroscopic sensors, magnetometer sensors, and temperature sensors.
