One of the major restrictions on the practical applications of unmannedaerial vehicles (UAV) is their incomplete self-sufficiency, which makescontinuous operations infeasible without human oversights. The more oversightUAVs require, the less likely they are going to be commercially advantageouswhen compared to their alternatives. As an autonomous system, how much humaninteraction is needed to function is one of the best indicators evaluating thelimitations and inefficiencies of the UAVs. Popular UAV related research areas,such as path planning and computer vision, have enabled substantial advances inthe ability of drones to act on their own. This research is dedicated toin-flight operations, in which there is not much reported effort to tackle theproblem from the aspect of the supportive infrastructure. In this paper, anAutonomous Service network infrastructure (AutoServe) is proposed. Aiming atincreasing the future autonomy of UAVs, the AutoServe system includes aservice-oriented landing platform and a customized communication protocol. Thissupportive AutoServe infrastructure will autonomize many tasks currently donemanually by human operators, such as battery replacement. A proof-of-conceptprototype has been built and the simulation experimental study validated thedesign.
