A navigation control system for an aerial robotic device suspended from a carrier device in an aerial movement volume of an aerial module. The navigation control system is configured to detect one or more stationary obstacles located in corresponding Aerial Movement Volume, create a 3D map representing the Aerial Movement Volume together with one or more bounding boxes enclosing each stationary obstacle in the Aerial Movement Volume, use an optimisation algorithm to compute an optimal route for the aerial robotic device, determine control parameters for a plurality of electric stepper motors driving the carrier device and the aerial robotic device based on the computed optimal route for the aerial robotic device, and navigate the aerial robotic device in accordance with the computed optimal route to enable the aerial robotic device to reach the required destination while avoiding intervening stationary obstacles.
