Abstract
An automatic shoe-lacing machine for securing a shoelace onto a shoe upper includes a jig unit, a robotic arm unit and a control unit. The jig unit permits the shoe upper to be disposed thereon. The robotic arm unit is disposed at the proximity of the jig unit. The robotic arm unit simultaneously holds and moves two tipping members of the shoelace for sequentially passing the tipping members through eyelets formed in the shoe upper. The control unit controls the movement of the robotic arm unit.
