Jackery unveiled the Solar Mars Bot at CES 2026, an innovative autonomous solar-powered robot designed to shift solar energy capture from fixed panels to a mobile platform. Equipped with AI-enhanced computer vision, the bot can independently navigate its environment, track the sun’s position using a 60-degree tilt and full-angle tracking, and follow a designated user if needed. Its wheels and solar panels rotate automatically to optimize sunlight exposure, significantly improving charging efficiency compared to stationary systems. The Solar Mars Bot houses a substantial 5000Wh modular LiFePO4 battery system, capable of powering a small cabin for two to three days and supporting loads up to 3000W, making it suitable for off-grid living, residential backup during outages, and outdoor events. Built with durable materials like impact-resistant plastics and aluminum alloys, it can traverse rugged terrain with about 5cm ground clearance and obstacle avoidance sensors, enhancing its utility in inspection, rescue, and leisure scenarios. The device features retractable 300W
