Remote access system for safety deposit boxes

A safety deposit box facility, the facility comprising:

• a wall defining an exterior room on a first side of the wall and an interior room on an opposite second side of the wall;
• at least a first safety deposit box extending through the wall from the first side to the second side, the first safety deposit box including a first door that, when opened, provides access to contents of the first safety deposit box, wherein the first door is accessible on the first side of the wall from the exterior room;
• the first safety deposit box further including a second door that, when opened, provides access to the contents of the first safety deposit box, wherein the second door is accessible on the second side of the wall from the interior room;
• a robot configured to receive a first remote command that causes the robot to unlock the first safety deposit box, open the second door, and retrieve the contents therein;
• a camera mounted on the robot configured to capture and transmit real-time image data of the contents of the first safety deposit box from the facility to a remote computing device;
• wherein the first door on the first side of the wall in the exterior room is accessible only by a human user;
• wherein the second door on the second side of the wall in the interior room is accessible only by the robot;
• and
• wherein the human user is restricted from entering the interior room and wherein the robot is restricted from entering the exterior room.

A system for providing remote access to contents of a safety deposit box associated with a registered owner, the system comprising a processor and machine-readable non-transitory media including instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

• receive, at a server and from a remote computing device, a first command to initiate a remote access event of the safety deposit box by the registered owner through a user interface of the registered owner;
• transmit, from the server, the first command to a robot located in the same room as the safety deposit box, thereby causing the robot to approach the safety deposit box;
• open, via the robot, a first door of the safety deposit box in further response to the first command;
• receive, at the server and from a camera mounted on the robot, first image data of the contents of the safety deposit box;
• and
• transmit, from the server and to the remote computing device, the first image data to a display of the user interface of the registered owner.
