XAG Unveils X Series Drones and RM80 Mower in Smart Farm 3.0 Reveal
At its 2026 Agricultural Robot Conference on July 6 in Guangzhou, XAG unveiled the X Series aerial platform, XA1 drone docking station, LM1 chemical mixing unit and the RM80 unmanned mower as building blocks of a Smart Farm 3.0 workflow.
Key Takeaways
XAG unveiled the X Series agricultural drone system and RM80 unmanned mower at its 2026 Agricultural Robot Conference on July 6 at the XAG Super Farm in Guangzhou.
The X Series pairs three components: the X Series drone for spraying, spreading and mapping; the XA1 docking station for autonomous takeoff, landing, charging and payload swaps; and the LM1 unit for autonomous chemical mixing and refilling.
The RM80 is XAG's first purpose-built autonomous mower, targeting orchard, vineyard and specialty-crop operators and joining the R100 and R200 rovers in the same fleet management stack.
XAG framed the launches as part of Smart Farm 3.0, a shift from discrete automation tools to coordinated production system nodes for spraying, surveying, mowing and logistics.
XAG's existing P Series has logged more than 9.3 million flight hours since 2022 across over 60 countries, providing a large deployed base for the new products.

At its 2026 Agricultural Robot Conference on July 6 at the XAG Super Farm in Guangzhou, XAG unveiled the X Series agricultural drone system and the RM80 unmanned mower, extending the company's automation stack from single machines to a full Smart Farm 3.0 workflow.
What the X Series brings
The X Series lineup pairs three integrated components. The X Series agricultural drone handles spraying, spreading and mapping. The XA1 drone docking station manages takeoffs, landings, charging and payload swaps without an operator. The LM1 intelligent chemical mixing and refilling unit fills tanks and preps agrochemicals autonomously so drones can stay in the air across long spray windows.
The RM80 mower fills the ground gap
Alongside the aerial reveal, XAG launched the RM80 unmanned mower, its first purpose-built autonomous mower, aimed at orchard, vineyard and specialty-crop operators. The RM80 complements the R100 and R200 rovers already in XAG's portfolio and brings mowing, weeding and vegetation-management jobs into the same fleet management stack used for spraying and mapping.
From single machines to production systems
XAG framed Smart Farm 3.0 as a shift from discrete automation tools toward permanent production system nodes, in which multiple robot types work in coordinated sequences for spraying, surveying, mowing and logistics. The company said its P Series has logged more than 9.3 million flight hours since 2022 across more than 60 countries, giving the new X Series and RM80 a large deployed base to plug into.
What did XAG announce at its 2026 Agricultural Robot Conference?
On July 6 in Guangzhou, XAG unveiled the X Series agricultural drone system, the XA1 drone docking station, the LM1 intelligent chemical mixing and refilling unit, and the RM80 unmanned mower as parts of its Smart Farm 3.0 workflow.
What is the RM80 unmanned mower designed for?
The RM80 is XAG's first purpose-built autonomous mower, aimed at orchard, vineyard and specialty-crop operators for mowing, weeding and vegetation management, integrated into the same fleet stack as XAG's spraying and mapping robots.
How does the X Series enable autonomous drone operation?
The XA1 docking station handles takeoffs, landings, charging and payload swaps without an operator, while the LM1 unit autonomously mixes agrochemicals and refills tanks so drones can keep flying through long spray windows.
What is Smart Farm 3.0?
It is XAG's vision of moving from discrete automation machines to permanent production system nodes, where multiple robot types work in coordinated sequences for spraying, surveying, mowing and logistics.
