Robotic alarm clock that runs off

A new robotic alarm clock has been developed that forces heavy sleepers to go after the clock to silent it, media reports revealed.

The robotic clock jumps off your bedside table and runs across the floor on two wheels, forcing its owner to shed the bed to make it stop emitting a high pitched alarm call.

When the alarm activates, the wheels propel the clock forwards and it survives drops from surfaces of up to 3ft tall.

Invented by a graduate student who struggled to get up in time for her lectures, “Clocky” the robot clock, will not stop moving across the room until it is caught and the alarm switched off.
