An aerial navigation system comprises upright members mounted with anchor points at a substantially same height. Each anchor point is provided with an electric motor. A carrier device is coupled to the electric motors at corresponding ones of the anchor points using a set of first wires. The carrier device is operably moved by the electric motors in a horizontal plane co-planar with the anchor points. Further, a robotic device is suspended from the carrier device using a second wire. The robotic device is moveable within a volume defined between a ground surface, the plurality of upright members and the horizontal plane by at least one other electric motor mounted on the carrier device. Furthermore, a navigation control system synchronises operations of electric motors at the anchor points and the carrier device for moving the robotic device from a current location to a target location within the volume.
