A smart drilling system is needed to autonomously analyze and interpret data from sensing and monitoring units and to recommend action to the driller or drilling engineer. To build an autonomous and intelligent decision making system, this project will integrate multisensor data fusion, neurofuzzy processing, and hybrid neural net training into a decision making software package. Phase I will focus on demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed intelligent decision making methodology through the following steps: (1) determine sensing device functionality, (2) design neurofuzzy system, and (3) demonstrate neurofuzzy system.

Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: This system will be useful in many areas of national interest such as exploration of mineral resources, environmental monitoring, infrastructure development, and monitoring and geothermal drilling._
