Shoe-Typing Robot once opened for The Alan Parsons Project. Kicker of a show (or shoe, as Ed Sullivan would say).

I feel for all the shoe tiers who are going to lose their jobs.


An ancillary benefit is that the robot can solve the Middle East conflict.

Are there any kids who know what shoelaces are?

Bad idea. How can kids learn how to trip over their own shoelaces if they don't come untied?

Shoe Tying Robot is now auditioning for upcoming movie:
Running with the Prada-Wearing Devil.

Next project:
A robot that ties a pair of shoes together, and tosses them over a nearby telephone power line.

Combine that with Alexa, and you will find yourself tied up, laughed at, and replace by your AI!
