AB  - q-Rung orthopair fuzzy set (qROFS) and m-polar fuzzy set (mPFS) are rudimentary 
      concepts in the computational intelligence, which have diverse applications in 
      fuzzy modeling and decision making under uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to 
      introduce the hybrid concept of q-rung orthopair m-polar fuzzy set (qROmPFS) as a 
      hybrid model of q-rung orthopair fuzzy set and m-polar fuzzy set. A qROmPFS has 
      the ability to deal with real life situations when decision experts are 
      interested to deal with multi-polarity as well as membership and non-membership 
      grades to the alternatives in an extended domain with q-ROF environment. Certain 
      operations on qROmPFSs and several new notions like support, core, height, 
      concentration, dilation, alpha-cut and (alpha, beta)-cut of qROmPFS are defined. 
      Additionally, grey relational analysis (GRA) and choice value method (CVM) are 
      presented under qROmPFSs for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) in robotic 
      agri-farming. The proposed methods are suitable to find out an appropriate mode 
      of farming among several kinds of agri-farming. The applications of proposed MCDM 
      approaches are illustrated by respective numerical examples. To justify the 
      feasibility, superiority and reliability of proposed techniques, the comparison 
      analysis of the final ranking in the robotic agri-farming computed by the 
      proposed techniques with some existing MCDM methods is also given.
