This work overviews the recent progress and challenges in developing the next‐generation energy harvesting and storage technologies for robots across all scales. Harvesting renewable energies including kinetic energy, thermal energy, and solar energy for self‐powered robots. Left: Wearable solar cells for robots.
For a high-power robot, a precharged or fueled energy storage device is one of the most viable options. With continued advances in robotics, the demands for power systems have become more rigorous, particularly in pursuing higher power and energy density with safer operation and longer cycle life.
Ideally, a robot equipped with one or several types of energy harvesting devices could be self-powered with electricity generated from the surrounding renewable energy sources. Therefore, growing interest has been devoted to investigating novel energy harvesting technologies for robots.
Energy harvesting technologies play a salient role in solving the energy challenges of robots. The renewable energies (such as solar, kinetic, and thermal energies) in the surrounding environments of a robot are free, ubiquitous, and sustainable (Figure 1).
To operate wirelessly in remote environments (e.g., in outer space), robots must extract useful energy from their surroundings for highly energy dense storage and long-term operation (e.g., long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs).
