Abstract: Energy harvesting is a powerful technique to produce clean and renewable energy with better infrastructure improvement. The exhaustive review of recent progress and development in bio-mechanical energy harvesting (BMEH) techniques from human body is discussed in this manuscript. The BMEH from the human body is categorized into three parts, namely, piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEEH), triboelectric energy harvesting (TEEH), and Electro-magnetic Energy harvesting (EMEH). Each energy harvesting system is discussed with working principles with mathematical equations; each energy harvesting progress is discussed with a few work demonstrations. The applications of each energy harvesting from the recent research work are addressed in detail. The summary of each energy harvester from the human body or motion with advantages, limitations, performance metrics, current methods, and implemented human body parts are highlighted with Tabulation. The critical challenges/issues with possible solutions are also discussed.
