Abstract
A system and method for automated guidance of a drone or delivery person via a local (on-site) UWB device for high-precision delivery of items is provided. The drone or delivery person arrives at a standard address such as a house, and comes into range of the UWB device. The UWB localization signal transmitted by the UWB device is received by the delivery agent and used to generate navigation guidance to a specific target destination for package delivery. In some embodiments, a smart container system including a UWB device may also be provided to improve security and appropriate ambient conditions for the package.
