<![CDATA[Agriculture can benefit from robotics technology to overcome the drawback of limited human labor working in this sector. One of the robot applications in agriculture is a surveillance robot to monitor the condition. This paper describes a surveillance robot that is powered by a capacitor bank charged by a mini solar panel. The solar-powered robot is well-suited for deployment in open agricultural areas in Indonesia, where the irradiance is high. This potential is excellent for generating electricity and charging electric vehicles, such as those used in agriculture. The surveillance robot developed and tested in this study has been successfully deployed in an agriculture-like setting with all-terrain contours and the capacity to avoid obstacles. During high irradiance sunny weather, the shortest charging time was 2 hours. Hence, the proposed technology is effective for designing a surveillance robot for agricultural applications.]]>
