We observed the field of GRB 140521A detected by Swift (trigger #599546;
Troja et al., GCN Circ. 16311) with the 12-inch AGU Robotic Optical
Monitor for Astrophysical object - Narrow (AROMA-N) located at the Sagamihara
campus of Aoyama Gakuin University.
15 images of 60 sec exposures were taken in the R filter starting from
May 21 17:36:17 (UT) about 119 sec after the trigger
(104 sec after the BAT position notice) and stopped on May 21 18:03:04 (UT).
We do not detect the optical afterglow both in the individual images and
the stacked image inside the BAT flight position (Troja, et al., GCN #16311).
The estimated five sigma upper limit of the combined image (total exposure of 900 sec)
is ~17.2 mag using the USNO-B1 catalog.
