An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes one or more sources of propulsion, a power source, and communication system. The UAV also includes a controller coupled to the communication system, the power source, and the one or more sources of propulsion. The controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the UAV to perform operations, including measuring a power source charge level of the UAV; sending a signal including the power source charge level of the UAV to an external device; receiving movement instructions from the external device; and engaging the one or more sources of propulsion to move the UAV from a first location on a storage rack to a second location within a storage facility.
