Don't ignore the cost of 'embedded energy'

Portable embedded computing systems require energy autonomy. This is achieved by batteries serving as a dedicated energy source. The requirement of portability places severe restrictions on size and weight, which in turn limits the amount of energy that ...

Harvesting energy from the environment is a desirable and increasingly important capability in several emerging applications of embedded systems such as sensor networks, biomedical implants, etc. While energy harvesting has the potential to enable near-...

Energy-availability prediction algorithms based on neural networks and random forests have enabled energy-neutral operation on resource-constrained sensors powered by energy harvesting. Coupled with careful energy management, the energy harvesting-aware ...
