Traditionally, devices are powered by bringing energy to them in the form of batteries and cables. At the incredible scale of a connected world, this has become a limiting factor. Energy harvesting solves this by using ambient energy already available: the energy from incident light, vibrations, RF signals can be leveraged - resulting in devices being able to run indefinitely without the need for battery substitutions.
