“BEDRUNN3R: An Intelligent Running Alarm Clock”

The conventional alarm clocks have been serving their purpose to mankind since their inception, to wake people up every single morning. However, the rates of oversleeping are still on the rise and people are having trouble waking up in the morning even with the use of alarm clocks. The snooze button that is available on all conventional alarm clocks provide user with more sleep but at a cost of deteriorating their quality of health and exacerbating sleep inertia at the same time.
The objective of this project is to study the problems associated with sleep that are often faced by people and to conduct a comparative study on existing intelligent alarm clocks in the market that functions using movement. Then, to solve the problems studied, an intelligent moving alarm clock that implements the application of artificial intelligence will be developed. The prototype of this alarm clock will also be tested against the usage of traditional and conventional alarm clocks.
The Hypothetico-Deductive method will be used as the development methodology of this project and the prototyping phase will be following the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model. The development methodology will be used alongside some other research methodologies to develop the system flows and architectures.
The V-Model will be used to evaluate the performance and viability of the system in the real-world environment. The test results will indicate the effectiveness of the system to determine if it surpasses the conventional alarm clocks and can be used as a replacement. The test cases will be designed using different room architectures and different situations in order to make sure all aspects and factors are tested.
