Mr. Wake Robot Alarm Clock Won’t Survive Very Long
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 29 of October , 2009 at 12:07 am
Remember Clocky? The robotic alarm clock that rolls off and hides from you? It’s clever. But not clever enough for someone like me, who has no trouble falling asleep on the floor after tracking Clocky down and shutting it off. Vadim Ryazanov of Let’s Make Robots has one-upped Clocky with Mr. Wake, a robot alarm clock that sees you coming and then flees thanks to an IR sensor, ensuring that you’ll bash your head against enough pieces of furniture while chasing it to either wake you up or render you unconscious.
Only issue is, Mr. Wake is a beautifully fragile looking robot, and so he might not react well to what I imagine is the most common method of deactivating an alarm clock: a high velocity, well aimed fist.
