Abstract: Considering the current world trends, the most challenging issue industry is facing revolves around how to reduce the power consumption of electronic systems. Since the invention of computers, electrical energy consumption has increased dramatically; this is due to the emergence of new systems in industry. Systems like industrial robots and autonomous vehicles—including electric vehicles (EVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—have had a great impact in making human life easier but have also led to higher energy consumption. At present, researchers and developers are actively seeking solutions and patents to optimize the energy consumption of the mentioned systems and generate savings, with the goal of reducing their environmental impact and improving their efficiency and effectiveness. From the literature review, papers related to energy optimization and energy consumption are considered vital, and a huge number of research publications and survey papers discuss it. This paper presents a systematic review of the classification and analysis of various methodologies and solutions that have been developed to enhance the energy performance of robotic systems, focusing on industrial robots, autonomous vehicles, and embedded systems. The aim of this research is to provide a reference point for the existing methods, techniques, and technologies that are available. It compares and evaluates different hardware and software methods related to industrial robots, autonomous vehicles, and embedded systems, highlighting the possible future perspectives in the field.
