Abstract
Currently the development of agricultural technology in Indonesia is still low then there must be innovation related to the implementation of new technology in agriculture. Pests are one of the causes of low agricultural production. Rice pests can attack 161,000 hectares each year. Farmers expel pests using chemicals that can damage the wetland ecosystem. Therefore the implementation of computer vision technology tools is expected to be a powerful pest repellent tool and keep the ecosystem stability in the fields. This innovation uses camera omni direction to detect the existence of pests such as rats, birds and others. Then after the pest can be detected it will be controlled by Arduino Mega Arduino controller to move the pest of rice pest in the form of a driving force equipped with a series of repellent pests. This technology utilizes solar electric energy that can save electricity usage from farmers, using a title of 48 solar cells capable of producing 24.2 volt voltage. So it can be a source of electrical energy omni vision by reaching 360 vision as far as 25 meters. This innovation is expected to be an effective and efficient agricultural technology to enhance agricultural production.
