        abstract = {The Footstep Generator Using Piezoelectric Principle with Micro-Controller is an innovative energy harvesting system designed to convert mechanical energy from human footsteps into electrical energy. This system utilizes piezoelectric sensors to capture the pressure exerted during walking and convert it into an electrical signal. The piezoelectric materials generate charge when subjected to mechanical stress, which is then processed and stored using a microcontroller. The microcontroller, acting as the brain of the system, controls the operation of the piezoelectric sensors, processes the generated signal, and manages the power storage or further use. The stored energy can be used to power low-energy devices such as LED lights or wireless sensors. This technology has the potential to contribute to sustainable energy solutions, particularly in areas with high foot traffic. The system’s efficiency and scalability make it suitable for various applications, including smart cities and energy-efficient buildings.},
