Smart Lacelock
This work presents a novel shoe-mounted sensor named Smart Lacelock, which takes the form of a common shoelace tensioning device ( shoelace lock). With its unique form factor, the Smart Lacelock can be securely attached to the top of a shoe with minimal effort , enabling its embedded inertia measurement unit (IMU) to provide reliable 3-D motion ...
The specification discusses various lacing engine configurations for use in an automated footwear platform. For example, lacing engines with mechanisms to detect lace cable position and/or lace cable tensions are discussed. In an example, the lacing engine can include a housing, a lace spool and a detection mechanism. The lace spool can be at least partially disposed within the housing, and be ...
