The Indian Institute of Technology, Indore, (IIT Indore) has delivered ten pairs of Tribo-Electric Nanogenerator (TENG) based shoe sole energy harvesting units to the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

• These shoes, are designed to harness energy from human motion, providing a sustainable power source for electronic devices.
• These shoes utilize advanced tribo-pairs, specifically Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) and Aluminium, to generate power with each step.
• This energy is then stored in a central device within the shoe sole, ensuring a reliable power source for small-scale electronic circuits.
• Additionally, the shoes are equipped with sophisticated tracking technology, including RFID and a satellite-based GPS module for live location tracking.
