mr. wake



vadim ryazanov is the creator of mr. wake, a small robotic alarm clock that runs away when you try to turn
it off. mr. wake is a home made robot that makes use of an infrared sensor to detect motion and is built
using a found alarm clock and frame made from plastic pens. when the user attempts to shut off the alarm,
the robot will drive away forcing the user out of bed and making sure they get up on time. while mr. wake
sounds very efficient at getting you up in the morning, most people won_t enjoy chasing a robot around
their home.
