A Rotary Steerable System (RSS) is an advanced drilling technology used in the oil and gas industry to precisely control the direction of the drill bit while rotating the drill string, enhancing drilling efficiency and accuracy. This system allows for continuous rotation and real-time steering adjustments, enabling complex well trajectories and improving overall wellbore quality.

Continuous rotation refers to the ability of a motor or mechanism to rotate indefinitely in one or both directions without any mechanical limits. This is often achieved using specific types of motors, such as stepper motors or continuous servos, and is essential in applications requiring precise and sustained rotational motion.
