ABSTRACT
Energy harvesting is a promising solution to powering billions of sensing and actuation devices in the age of the Internet of Things. However, efforts required to design and implement low-power and harvesting-aware embedded systems are not insignificant. The challenging and costly development process might even inhibit the mass adoption of energy-harvesting devices. In this paper, we present an "energy gatekeeper" architecture that decouples the task of incorporating energy harvesting from application circuit design, followed by our work-in-progress implementation. This work attempts to lower the barrier of integrating energy harvesting into applications by reducing the workload of developers.
