Abstract

Malaysia is moving toward Agriculture 4.0, and it is expected that more technology such as sensors in IoT will be used. With the application of biomechanical energy harvesting, those IoT wireless sensors can be powered and/or recharged. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feasibility of harvesting energy from biomechanical work by the human during agriculture activities. Since upper limb movement is one of the greatest movements during agriculture activities, upper limb motion will be the scope of this study. Fabricate the system of a selected type of energy harvesting to get the characterization data for the future development of upper limb energy harvesting system. A system was fabricated with two modes of triboelectric nanogenerator, vertical separation-contact mode and lateral sliding mode. The results indicated that the fabricated TENG system needed large surface area, short wire and best connection for higher voltage. Based on the collected data, system was proposed for energy harvesting system from biomechanical work when performing agricultural activities.
