This solar robot is a power station on wheels, tracks sun autonomously
US-based Jackery has provided a glimpse into the future of renewable energy at CES 2026 with the debut of its Solar Mars Bot, a groundbreaking autonomous solar robot.
It is a mobile power station designed to navigate environments autonomously. This device represents a shift from stationary solar setups to a mobile platform that actively manages energy capture.
It is intended to function as a self-driving battery unit that can reposition itself throughout the day to optimize its exposure to the sun.
“Both the wheels and solar panels automatically rotate towards the sun, realizing instant position tracking and fast power storage,” said Jackery.
