contents Vibration energy harvesting is a promising solution for powering battery-free IoT systems; however, the instability of ambient vibrations presents significant challenges, such as limited harvested energy, intermittent power supply, and poor adaptability to various applications. To address these challenges, this paper proposes ViPSN2.0, a modular and reconfigurable IoT platform that supports multiple vibration energy harvesters (piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and triboelectric) and accommodates sensing tasks with varying application requirements through standardized hot-swappable interfaces. ViPSN~2.0 incorporates an energy-indication power management framework tailored to various application demands, including light-duty discrete sampling, heavy-duty high-power sensing, and complex-duty streaming tasks, thereby effectively managing fluctuating energy availability. The platform's versatility and robustness are validated through three representative applications: ViPSN-Beacon, enabling ultra-low-power wireless beacon transmission from a single transient fingertip press; ViPSN-LoRa, supporting high-power, long-range wireless communication powered by wave vibrations in actual marine environments; and ViPSN-Cam, enabling intermittent image capture and wireless transfer. Experimental results demonstrate that ViPSN~2.0 can reliably meet a wide range of requirements in practical battery-free IoT deployments under energy-constrained conditions.
