Chinese company XAG has launched a brand new agricultural drone that is designed to take advantage of the benefits of modular design in order to be able to cater to a diverse array of farming processes.
The 'V40' agricultural drone comes fully equipped with a herbicide tank and seed container, while its pair of folding arms each come equipped with rotors and spray nozzles to allow for efficient spraying and seeding. However, what truly makes this agricultural drone unique is the fact that it uses an energy-saving electronic tilt mechanism which allows for greater flexibility with fewer rotors.
With GPS technology, radars and the ability to map terrain, this agricultural drone is designed for agricultural practices that want to make use of modern technology to allow for better crop yields without increasing costs.
