Drones with sensors used in insurance applications

A method of operating a drone to collect sensor feedback data associated with an object, the method comprising:

• deploying, via a server, a drone to an object of interest by transmitting one or more control signals to a controller that is communicatively connected with the drone, the drone comprising at least one sensor in communication with the controller;
• operating, via the controller, the drone to position the drone adjacent the object of interest such that the drone interacts with the object;
• collecting sensor feedback data based at least in part on the interaction between the drone and the object, the sensor feedback data being collected through the at least one sensor;
• transmitting, over a network, the sensor feedback data to the controller;
• computing one or more observable parameters based on the transmitted sensor feedback data;
• detecting a geographic zone within which the drone is positioned;
• and
• causing, via instructions transmitted from the controller, the at least one sensor of the drone to turn off when the geographic zone is subject to one or more geographic restrictions.
