Imagine a world where, tiny, intelligent devices are seamlessly woven into the fabric of our lives, monitoring everything from air quality to traffic flow, powered not by clunky batteries, but by the energy surrounding them. This isn’t a futuristic fantasy, it’s the reality of battery-less IoT.

Innovative energy-harvesting IoT applications can store energy and use it later, eliminating the need for pricey and inconvenient battery replacements. The era of battery-free IoT devices has arrived, with applications ranging from home electronics like remote controllers to smart buildings and smart factory sensors. 

Energy harvesting presents a power supply alternative for embedded system designers, offering a potential solution to the global energy challenge while safeguarding our planet’s finite resources. The concept of energy harvesting started with small sensors for handheld gadgets and has now evolved into scalable solutions, allowing wireless sensors like Bluetooth to thrive in applications incompatible with standard battery designs.
