This paper introduces a new approach of using mini/micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for automatic meter reading (AMR) in rural areas where there are subscribers dispersed over a large area. Compared to other AMR systems, the use of UAVs brings many advantages including easy integration to existing AMR systems, flexibility, and low-cost and automatic operation. In this paper, design considerations and associated challenges of this approach are presented. In addition, simulation studies are given to prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
