The panel will address upcoming technologies aimed at energy efficiency in energy harvester powered sensor networks for automotive applications. It will focus on the main challenge faced by the researchers working in this area: how to design efficiently analogue and digital automotive electronics powered by extremely low levels of harvested energy? The two industrial panelists will outline issues facing battery-less automotive sensor nodes powered by kinetic and thermal energy harvesters . The academic panelists will present currently being developed adaptive harvesters which can deliver maximum energy output in a changing environment, discuss techniques of virtual prototyping for ultra-low energy consumption and methods to analyse and optimise energy management and efficiency in automotive sensor nodes
