Abstract:
The present disclosure describes various embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for drone-based administration of remotely located devices. One such method comprises deploying an unmanned aerial vehicle from a base station, wherein the base station assigns a maintenance order to the unmanned aerial vehicle for servicing of a remote device, traveling, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, to the location of the remote device, authenticating, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, a valid identification of the remote device; upon the remote device being authenticated by the unmanned aerial vehicle, servicing the remote device by at least charging a power supply of the remote device and transferring contents of a device log to the unmanned aerial vehicle; and after completing the servicing of the remote device; returning to the base station and transferring contents of the device log to the base station.
