Self-Sustainable Robotic Environment Discovery for Energy Harvesting Internet of Things

This paper considers autonomous environment discovery for energy harvesting Internet of things (IoT) applications. A self-sustainable mobile micro-robot explores an unknown environment to collect data under energy constraints. The data are fed into a machine- learning model to construct an energy harvesting map of the environment, which will then be used by IoT devices for self-sustainable operations in the same environment. The objective is to...
