US Patent 11608735 Drill bit position measurement

This disclosure may generally relate to systems and methods systems and methods for determining drill bit position while drilling. A bit-position-while-drilling system may include: a drill bit; a gyroscope unit coupled to the drill bit to measure angular velocity about three axes, wherein the gyroscope unit is coupled to the drill bit in a known relationship to the drill bit; and an information handling system operable to receive gyroscope measurements from gyroscope unit and determine position of the drill bit in a borehole based at least partially on the gyroscope measurements.
