German Researchers Are Committed To The Development Of Automatic Lacing Shoes.

Following NIKE's plan to launch smart high shoe like the science fiction movie "back to the future II", German researchers are also working on the development of automatic lacing shoes.

Researchers in Germany developed a model by themselves.

Put on the shoe, step on the sensor installed in the shoe, the small motor of the sole will work and tighten the shoelace.

When you take off your shoes, touch the two heels lightly for two times and touch the "Dorothea" sensor on the heel.

To make you take off your shoes.

Compared with NIKE's upcoming intelligent MCG shoes, it needs recharging function. The automatic lacing shoes designed by German researchers are more "tall", which can generate energy without charging.

The shoe is equipped with an energy harvesting system that pforms the energy of the user's movement into electricity.

HSG-IMIT, a famous German Institute, has developed two types of energy harvesters.

One of them is "swing collector", which is specially made for this shoe.

It is positioned at the bottom of the automatic lacing shoe, when the foot cause of the user wears.

Swaying will cause the magnet to move between the loops and generate current. The wobble sensor will collect and store these energy for shoes.

Another name is "vibration collector". Its volume and weight are greater than the former. It is developed for some specific needs and will be applied to indoor navigation systems for military personnel and fire fighters.

However, at present, the two types of harvester have not achieved ideal results in energy harvesting, so the researchers of the Institute plan to improve their efficiency.
