Systems and methods for effectively repelling pest animals (e.g., birds), including drones that adopt complex deterrent strategies (e.g., cooperative strategies), establishing a fuzzy boundary for a geofenced area and altering pest deterrent device flight patterns based on the characteristics of the fuzzy boundaries. Deterrence strategies can be selected based on the type of pest animals, and new deterrence strategies can be generated based on outcome feedback from previous strategies (e.g., combining aspects of preexisting deterrence strategies by utilizing an AI system). Drones can be automatically maintained by comparing current drone operational status with a predetermined threshold level. A maintenance robot (e.g., a drone) can autonomously rescues a working robot (e.g., another drone) that is in trouble.
