A study on Energy Harvesting based Magnetic Sensor for Wireless Control of JIG Robot

Abstract

In this paper, to utilize the limited battery more efficiently, the energy harvesting scheme, which can produce energy without additional external power supply and supply power to the sensor by the operation of the pneumatic actuator attached to the industrial robot jig to improve the power efficiency of wireless sensor networks has been proposed. In the implementation of the energy harvesting using the electromagnetic induction method was adopted to detect the power by the wireless sensor, and the structure of the proposed energy harvester based on the mathematical model was designed and the simulation was conducted to verify the efficiency.
