Self-running alarm clock that keeps escaping until stopped!
'Run Away! Mr. Alarm Clock' is a unique alarm clock system developed for college students who can't wake up. It features an LED time display, caterpillar tracks for movement, LED tape for wake-up light, 4-way distance sensors for obstacle avoidance, a speaker, and a tactile switch to stop the alarm.
The system links with a dedicated smartphone app to set alarm times and use Fourier transform to set favorite music as the alarm tone. At the set time, it automatically starts and runs around the room using its tracks. The alarm won't stop until the user catches it and presses the top switch. This forces the user to get out of bed and move, ensuring they wake up.
