The research team led by Professor Park Jae-young from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Kwangwoon University has successfully developed a self-powered smart insole for Gait analysis, integrating friction-based nano-generators with deep learning technology. The insole, attached to shoes, utilizes self-powered pressure sensors and Bluetooth to real-time measure and monitor users' walking patterns, enabling wide applications such as gait analysis and correction, behavioral analysis, security systems, and disease prevention.
