        abstract = {In a country like India, where close to 70% of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihood, there is a growing need to make farming smarter, more sustainable, and less physically demanding. Tasks such as sowing seeds and watering crops may seem simple, but they require long hours of manual labor, especially under harsh weather conditions, and often lead to fatigue, inefficiency, and uneven crop output. While there are modern machines that can automate these processes, they are usually too costly, bulky, or complex for small and marginal farmers who form the backbone of Indian agriculture. To address this gap, this project introduces a solar-powered farming robot that makes seed sowing and watering easier, faster, and more consistent. It is designed to be affordable, lightweight, and energy-efficient, drawing its power from a solar panel, which allows farmers to use it even in remote villages with limited or no electricity. What sets this robot apart is its user-friendly control system—farmers can operate it using a basic Android app over Wi-Fi, giving them complete control over the robot's movement and functions without needing any technical skills. This means that even those unfamiliar with modern technology can benefit from it. Unlike fully autonomous systems that may require complex setup, this robot keeps the human in the loop, allowing flexibility while still reducing labor. It helps farmers cover more land in less time, ensuring timely sowing and watering, which are critical for a good harvest. The robot not only makes farming less physically demanding but also encourages the use of clean energy and digital tools in rural areas. By bringing together simplicity, sustainability, and practicality, this solution empowers farmers to work smarter, save time and energy, and ultimately improve crop yield and livelihood—making agriculture not just a tradition, but a profession of innovation and dignity.},
