        abstract = {Agriculture remains the backbone of the global economy, yet it faces significant challenges including labour shortages, rising energy costs, and the need for sustainable practices. This research presents the design and implementation of an autonomous, solar-powered multipurpose agriculture robot aimed at enhancing efficiency and reducing human intervention in traditional farming tasks. The system is built around the Arduino Uno microcontroller, which serves as the central processing unit coordinating various peripherals. To ensure environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the robot is powered by a solar energy harvesting system, utilizing photovoltaic panels to charge an onboard battery, thereby eliminating the need for external fossil fuel-based power sources. The mechanical locomotion of the robot is facilitated by high-torque DC motors controlled via an L298N motor driver, allowing the vehicle to navigate through uneven field terrains with precision. The robot is engineered to perform multiple functions, including automated seed sowing and controlled irrigation. For the irrigation module, a specialized water pump is integrated into the system, enabling the targeted delivery of water to the crops based on pre-programmed logic, which significantly conserves water compared to traditional flooding methods. To provide real-time feedback and system monitoring, a 16x2 LCD is incorporated, displaying critical status updates such as battery levels, current operating modes, and sensor data to the user. The integration of these hardware components results in a versatile platform capable of performing labour-intensive tasks with high repeatability and minimal energy expenditure. Experimental results demonstrate that the robot effectively utilizes solar power for continuous operation, providing a scalable and eco-friendly solution for small-to-medium scale farmers. By merging embedded systems with renewable energy, this project contributes to the development of precision agriculture, ultimately aiming to increase crop yields while maintaining ecological balance.},
