Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation systems include a UAV charging pad positioned at a storage facility, a plurality of fiducial markers positioned at the storage facility, and a UAV. Each of the fiducial markers is associated with a fiducial dataset storing a position of the corresponding fiducial marker, and the fiducial datasets are stored in a fiducial map. The UAV includes a camera and logic that when executed causes the UAV to image a first fiducial marker, to access from the fiducial map a first fiducial dataset storing the position of the first fiducial marker, and to navigate based upon the first fiducial dataset.
