Energy Harvesting for Autonomous Systems Neil White, Stephen Beeby

The objective of the Laboratory is to The Littoral High Bay will also have a variety of sediment tanks for testing sensors and energy harvesting devices. Zero-power reflects system-of-systems ability to scavenge energy in dynamic environments by disruptive harvesting techniques. Student team members from the Virginia Tech's National Science Foundation Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems (CEHMS) test a 5-foot wide jellyfish-like robot under water at War Memorial Hall. How do we autonomously manage energy resources from harvesting energy to powering the wireless system to ensure the system monitoring functionality during operation? A new prototype model already is under construction at Virginia Tech's Durham Hall, where Priya's Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems is based. Virginia Tech College of Engineering researchers have unveiled a life-like, autonomous robotic jellyfish the size and weight of a grown man, 5 foot 7 inches in length and weighing 170 pounds. LASR will provide specialized facilities to support highly innovative, multidisciplinary research in autonomous systems, including intelligent autonomy, sensor systems, power and energy systems, human-system interaction, networking and communications, and platforms. Alpha Micro has introduced an energy-harvesting evaluation kit for autonomous wireless sensors and other sub-100mW applications. This technology provides a PVDF piezoelectric thin film and proposed its use of energy harvesting system, which converts ambient energy into electrical energy for small wireless autonomous devices. That thing you see in the ocean one day might not really be a monster jellyfish that mutated into the size of a human being but rather the outcome of a university project to develop a autonomous robot for the U.S.
