BioSoles are one of the team’s leading concepts: special insoles that can recognize an individual based upon his or her unique walk. To reach this goal, the team is in the process of developing a new discipline called “pedo-biometrics.” Carnegie Mellon University Biometrics Research and Identity Automation…
