Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
an instrumented cutter of a drill bit comprising an on-cutter sensor for monitoring drilling performance metrics while performing drilling operations based on offset well data; and
a computing device comprising a model development system configured to use the drilling performance metrics, surface drilling parameters, and characteristics of the instrumented cutter to train a machine learning (ML) model,
wherein the trained ML model is used to optimize drilling parameters and predict drill bit performance in a current well,
wherein the on-cutter sensor is at least one ultrasonic transducer for measuring wear of a polycrystalline diamond table, by exciting the polycrystalline diamond table with an ultrasonic pulse and recording an ultrasonic vibration of the polycrystalline diamond table.
