An automated television wall mount was designed, and a prototype built to provide remote control adjusting of the physical orientation of a flat screen television. Watching a television with full focus needs a head on perpendicular to screen. There are also some users place their television in a higher place on a wall and once they must change the angle of the screen will tire them. The objective of this project is to create and develop an adjustable television wall mount with motorized control design effortless adjustment and full motion flexibility with maximum available viewing angles. Another objective is to analyse the product to make sure it will work very well as expected. There are some methodology solutions are used in this project. The first one should be creating a morphological chart with listing a lot of possible solutions to create and sketch designs as much as possible. Then, all of the sketch designs will be evaluated through Pugh chart to see which one of all the designs score the highest point of criteria requirement compared to the existing product today. The one that chosen design from Pugh chart then will be redesigned with detail measurement using CAD software. The CAD software that will be used is SolidWorks 2021 by Dassault Systèmes SE. The analysis and simulation will also be done in the software. Once the design and analysis are done with good result, then the product need to be fabricated into a real prototype. As an expected result, the motorized wall mount should be able to handle a television with 25 kg maximum weight, up to 50-inches size and can rotate the viewing angle up to 45 degree to right, left, up and even down without any issue. The significance of this project is to ease the users with motorized control design effortless adjustment.
