Description: Vibrational energy harvesting is the process of capturing energy generated by mechanical vibrations to power various systems, including robotic systems. This concept is based on converting kinetic energy, produced by movements or vibrations, into usable electrical energy. The technology employs devices such as piezoelectrics, which generate electricity when subjected to mechanical stress, and electromagnetic systems that convert motion into electrical current. Vibrational energy harvesting is particularly relevant in environments where conventional energy sources are limited or where greater sustainability is sought. Additionally, it enables the autonomous operation of devices, reducing reliance on batteries and extending the lifespan of systems. The ability to harness environmental vibrations not only enhances energy efficiency but also opens new possibilities for the design of devices that can operate in diverse conditions, from industrial environments to everyday applications.
