Abstract
A method of automatic shoe lacing is proposed to include steps of: (a) capturing, by a camera system, at least two images of shoelace holes of a shoe from different positions relative to the shoe; (b) acquiring, by a computer device through conducting an analysis according to the at least two images of the shoe, coordinates of the shoelace holes relative to a robotic arm; and (c) the robotic arm lacing the shoe according to the coordinates acquired in step (b).

A system of automatic shoe lacing, comprising:
- a camera system for capturing at least two images of shoelace holes of a shoe from different positions relative to the shoe;
- a robotic arm for lacing the shoe;
- and
- a computer device coupled to said camera system for receiving the at least two images therefrom, coupled to said robotic arm, and configured to acquire, by conducting an analysis according to the at least two images of the shoe, coordinates of the shoelace holes relative to said robotic arm, and to control said robotic arm to lace the shoe according to the coordinates thus acquired.
