Abstract
In this chapter, the IoT trend is discussed and how it changed the wheel of research in many fields. Then, it explores the need for energy harvesting in IoT and wearable electronics to achieve autonomous operation. In addition, a comparison between using batteries and capacitors is carried out to power wearable applications. Finally, state-of-the-art low power devices that use energy harvesting are explained.
