Abstract: ABSTRACT SOLAR POWERED MULTIFUNCTION AGRICULTURE ROBOT FOR AUTOMATED FARMING OPERATIONS The present invention relates to an automated agricultural robotic system powered by solar energy for performing multiple farming operations with reduced human effort and operational cost. More particularly, the invention discloses a solar powered multifunction agriculture robot comprising a solar energy harvesting unit, rechargeable battery system, microcontroller-based control unit, motorized mobility arrangement, seed sowing mechanism, irrigation mechanism, spraying mechanism, and sensing modules configured to perform agricultural activities including seed sowing, watering, and pesticide spraying in an automated manner. The solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy for charging the battery and powering the robotic components. The microcontroller coordinates movement and task execution based on programmed instructions and sensor inputs. The invention reduces dependency on fuel-powered agricultural machinery, minimizes environmental pollution, lowers labor requirements, and provides an economical and eco-friendly farming solution particularly suitable for small and medium-scale agricultural applications.
