Abstract
This paper proposes an automated design and optimization methodology for performance improvement of the MEMS unimorph piezoelectric harvesters based on Genetic Algorithm (GA), which can be conducted with minimum human efforts. In this regard, an analytic equation, which can predict harvested voltage in terms of geometric dimensions, is utilized as an objective function of GA. By using micro-fabrication process, we fabricated the optimized MEMS harvesters. The experimental results demonstrate that the prototyped energy harvester has larger generated voltage magnitude by a factor of 31% in comparison with un-optimized ones, along with device area reduction from 3.1 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> to 1.55 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . Furthermore, a new T-shaped unimorph MEMS harvester with higher conversion efficiency from mechanical vibration to electricity by offering both bending stress and torsion stress, is proposed and fabricated. Our measurement shows that the T-shaped harvester can generate higher voltage by a factor of 96% with reference to the optimized conventional unimorph piezoelectric harvester, while its occupied area is further reduced by 35% to 1.01 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
