Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for controlling a wellbore drilling apparatus where the system may include a surface controller and a downhole controller. In certain instances, control of the drilling apparatus may be transferred from the surface controller to the downhole controller. The control of the drilling apparatus may be transferred to the downhole controller as the surface control monitors operation of the drilling operation. The surface controller may also send a command that transfers control of the drilling apparatus from the downhole controller to the surface controller.
