Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for performing an opening or closing security procedure at a provider location using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are described herein. An autonomous security system includes a UAV, a user device, and a UAV security system. The UAV security system includes a processing circuit structured to guide the UAV along a predetermined route within or near the provider location. The processing circuit is further structured to receive monitoring data associated with the provider location and its surroundings from the UAV, the monitoring data comprising ultra-wideband (UWB) data and radio-frequency identification (RFID) data. The processing circuit is further configured to identify a foreign object based on the monitoring data, determine that the foreign object is one of a security threat or a defect, and provide a notification to the user device regarding the one of the security threat or the defect.
