Abstract (EN): Nowadays, entering in the highly competitive international market becomes a key strategy for the survive and sustained growth of enterprises in the Portuguese textile and footwear industrial sector. Thereby, to face new requirements, companies need to understand that technological innovation is a key issue. In this scenario, the research presented in this paper focuses on the development of a robot based conveyor line pick-and-place solution to perform an automatic collection of the shoe last. The solution developed consists of extracting the 3D model of the shoe last suport transported in the conveyor line and aligning it, using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm, with a template model previously recorded. The Camera-Laser triangulation system was the approach selected to extract the 3D model. With the correct position and orientation estimation of the conveyor footwear, it will make possible to execute the pick-and-place task using an industrial manipulator. The practical implication of this work is that it contributes to improve the footwear production lines efficiency, in order to meet demands in shorter periods of time, and with high quality standards. This work was developed in partnership with the Portuguese company CEI by ZIPOR.
