“Caring for old shoes is a very personal matter. People will go to great lengths to take care of their favorite shoes. Refurbishing is a way to prolong our memories with this product. We see BILL as a tool that can make that happen,” said company representative Noah Murphy-Reingertz.
BILL is said to be a robotic system that uses water-based cleaners and a recycled polyester patch to breathe new life into old shoes.
Currently, it can extend the service life of four popular sneakers, including the Air Jordan 1.
Customers can visit the robot at the Nike Town store in London, where their shoes will be loaded into the machine one by one. The robot first creates a 3D digital model of the shoe to help identify the parts that need cleaning. BILL then gets to work by starting the deep cleaning process using suitable water-based products and car wash style rotating brushes.
After the shoes are cleaned, customers will be able to select patches to repair the wear and tear on the upper part of the shoe. Next, a new lining and laces made from recycled materials are added.
The whole process takes 45 minutes.
As reported by Ukrinform, researchers from Nanyang Technological University and Tan Tok Seng Hospital in Singapore have developed a portable robot that will help a person maintain their balance and avoid falling.
