Abstract: A system (100) and method (200) for cleaning dust from exterior surfaces of a high-rise building includes wireless sensor network (WSN) units (102) disposed on respective exterior surface regions of the high-rise building to detect dust accumulation associated with a corresponding exterior surface region and generate data indicative thereof. The system (100) includes an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (106) in communication with the WSN units (102). The UAV (106) includes a flight controller (108) and a cleaning assembly (110). The flight controller (108) receives data indicative of the dust accumulation from the WSN units (102) and identifies exterior surface regions requiring cleaning based on the received data to determine a cleaning route corresponding to the identified exterior surface regions. The flight controller (108) navigates UAV (106) along the cleaning route to the identified exterior surface regions, and actuates the cleaning assembly (110) to clean the identified exterior surface regions.
