Abstract:
An automatic shoe-lacing system includes a support unit for supporting a shoe upper thereon, a robotic arm unit disposed to hold an end portion of a shoelace to move along an eyelet passing path through predetermined shoelace eyelets of the shoe upper, and at least one hook unit. The hook unit has a hook disposed to hold and tense a flexible lace body of the shoelace to prevent twist of the shoelace during the shoe-lacing operation.
