The growing figure of Internet of things (IoT) devices is faced with a critical problem of ensuring a reliable and sustainable power supply especially in resource constrained environments. The sustainable solution discussed in this capstone project, YATAKI: Yielding Active Tread-based Alternative Kinetic Interface with IoT Monitoring System, is based on the human kinetic energy harvesting. The system makes use of an active tread-based platform that is loaded with piezoelectric sensors, which detect human movement, e.g., walking or stepping, and transform mechanical stress into electrical power. Such sensors produce high voltage output when stepping on them, which is in line with the current kinetic energy harvesting technology.
