Abstract

The design of an alarm clock robot is subject to countless possibilities. Before the turn of the century, alarm clocks still proved to be a modernist invention, but they were still largely confined within mechanical barriers. After twenty years, the majority of the user population wake up to the sound of electric clocks, or even their mobile device. This study explores the possibilities of robotics and the robot's function in the face of a task requiring it to wake its user up in the morning among users up to and including working age. Therefore, this article focuses on introducing the design and redesign process of robots through the design of third-generation robots, and uses two different computer aided design software examples; Tinkercad and Rhinoceros 7, as well as examples of intelligent sound sensors discovered on the internet. Contrary to what has often been assumed in the past, the introduction of a robotic design, different to traditional alarm clocks has shown great potential, perhaps even beyond its designated use as a conventional alarm clock with wheels.
