Abstract: IOT INTEGRATED SOLAR POWERED AUTONOMOUS AGRICULTURAL ROBOT FOR FIELD OPERATIONS The present invention relates to an loT integrated solar powered autonomous agricultural robot for performing multiple field operations with enhanced energy efficiency, autonomous navigation, and remote monitoring. The robot comprises a chassis frame supported by groundengaging wheels or tracks, a solar energy harvesting unit having one or more photovoltaic panels, an energy storage unit including rechargeable batteries, and a power management module configured to regulate energy generation, storage, and distribution. A drive system powered by electric motors enables autonomous movement across agricultural fields. A sensor module including one or more of GPS, inertial measurement unit (IMU), LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, cameras, soil moisture sensors, soil temperature sensors, ambient temperature sensors, humidity sensors, crop health sensors, and obstacle detection sensors continuously acquires field and environmental data. A control unit processes the acquired data to perform autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and field operation control
