IJRAR21B1566, 2021

The Regular Automatic child cradle foundation are mainly high end and they in addition don't offer much practicality. In recent times the progress of high-tech electronics has introduced the concept of intelligent baby cradle as a smart system with many features to minimize the efforts of parents and guardians. The paper is directed to better the quality of the in subsist baby cradle systems by making changes in a new module making baby care simple. Handling baby cry involves providing survey for baby cry, and according to that, alerting the device attached to the cradle. The survey paper shows the format of a functional cradle that system that shows signs of malfunctioning at space of infant development with the assistance of a Passive infrared (PIR) sensor. Passive infrared (PIR) sensor shows the movement of baby in the cradle. The movement of infant on different occasions are eliminated which would get the attention of the nearby person by making a sound via buzzer, swinging of cradle with keeping in mind to the child's ease. If the baby doesn't rest or stops crying after a certain period of time then buzzer is used to alert the parents telling them that, their child needs attention. The cradle has various sensors including the wet sensor which will symbolize the person nearby or the attendant that baby has wetted the bed. So, accordingly parents will know at a correct time that what precautions need to be taken for taking care of the baby infant. The cradle system is of high performance and do not require any such physical alertness.

Working mothers are more common in modern society. Child care has consequently turned into a daily struggle for many households. As a result, the majority of parents drop off their kids at a daycare facility or at their grandparents' home. Parents, however, are unable to watch over their kids continuously, whether things are normal or not. A cost-effective IoTbased solution for real-time monitoring is therefore suggested: the Internet of Things-based baby monitoring system (IoT-BBMS). Additionally, we have suggested a new algorithm for our system that is crucial in delivering better child care when parents are gone. In the system automatic music system will be activated as soon as the baby's crying level is detected while the baby is in the swing, which will help stop the baby's crying. The prototype of the proposed system has been developed and tested to prove its effectiveness in terms of cost and simplicity and to ensure secure operation to enable child parenting anywhere and anytime over the network.

These days, with the increasing demands and responsibilities of life, parents becoming busy most of the time which makes taking care of an infant incredibly difficult task as infants need the attention and supervision of caregivers all the time. However, the advancement of technology has led to the emergence of smart baby cradle as an intelligent system with numerous features to reduce the burden of parents and caregivers. The paper aims to enhance the quality of the existing baby cradle systems by incorporating a new module for managing baby cry. Managing baby cry involves providing analysis for baby cry, and accordingly, triggering the suitable device attached to the cradle. This research paper provides significant attention on detecting baby cry, more accurately, by integrating four-sub modules in the cry classification process including voice analysis, face image analysis, body gesture analysis, and finally decision fusion.

Today's lifestyle is fast-paced. Most of the working parents find it a touch difficult to manage work together with babysitting. They cannot keep a watch on their child all the time and is tough after long working hours. To assuage the baby by manually swinging the cradle may not be possible in such a case. If they need taken the assistance of a babysitter for it then also baby's safety-related thoughts keep getting into their minds. Hence there's a desire for a product that bridges this gap between parents and baby. This cradle system is proposed to assist these parents so they'll take excellent care of their baby from remote locations.

The advancement of digitization and technology provides a large-scale availability of data that can be made use of technology to assist the working mothers to look over their child without having to compromise their work. This research paper proposes the use of "Smart Cradle" an E-Cradle that involves the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The solution proposed of the smart cradle involves a real-time monitoring system of the child through a mobile application remotely. The smart cradle arrangement makes use of sensors to monitor the baby's vital parameters, like the ambient temperature, respiration, moisture, and crying. The smart cradle integrates a noise sensor which is used for detecting the kid's crying activity and in respond to that it will automatically start swinging the cradle to pacify the child. The temperature sensor connected via a Bluetooth module sends an alert to the parent about the body temperature of the child in a text message form when the temperature goes above the set threshold. This solution also includes a moisture sensor which helps to maintain the hygiene of the baby. Parents can also monitor their babies' condition through an external web camera which is the baby monitor. This proposed system is an illustration of a fabricated and tested way to prove its effectiveness in terms of cost and ease and to make sure safe operation to enable the baby-parenting anywhere and anytime through the Internet of Things which has made it possible. The smart cradle system is beyond doubt effective in monitoring the baby's situation and the nearby environment which is compatible with the prototype.

In today's busy life it becomes difficult to handle multiple work at a time. For working women who have a baby, it is necessary to monitor and taking care of various activities for baby. Out of which swinging a cradle for a baby manually becomes very time consuming and needs to be automated. This paper presents the work of a new design and implementation for low cost automatic baby cradle system with monitoring baby movement and baby crying. Based on these parameters an Arduino uno microcontroller operated control system to automatically switch baby cradle on or off depends on the baby condition is presented in this work. PIR sensor for baby movements and crying detection by audio sensor is used and required signals are generated to activate switch of a dc motor. Motor with driving mechanism is connected to the cradle for continuous swinging operation.

In today's world, we see that most of the families consist of mainly the parents and children. When a baby is born in a family there has to be someone to look after the baby. Some parents have to do a double task of keeping a check on the baby as well as do the household work. Keeping a nanny could be an option but not all can afford nannies and also it is always difficult for parents to rely on some strangers to look after their baby. So to help such parents we have decided to come up with a smart cradle which will help a mother or a father have a track of their child and do some household work simultaneously. The temperature and wetness sensor detects the temperature and wetness of the baby and if it increases a particular level, the message will be sent to the parents. The mic in the system detects, if the baby cries and a song will play through the speaker set up in the APR, also message is sent to the parents. Also, the feeding time of the baby is set using the keypad, and at that time message will be sent to the parents.

Smart Cradle is an innovation that is used to make babies sleep peacefully. By swinging into side by side motion it makes that comfortable for the baby and make the baby sleep. In this 21st century parents cannot swing the cradle manually by putting a lot of efforts. by putting a lot of efforts. And when the baby is in the cradle parents need to monitor the baby 24/7. The idea proposed is used to monitor the baby 24/7 live with parents smart phone and take care of the baby. A Node MCU ESP288 microcontroller will be used to assemble all the sensors and hardware component required. Monitoring the cradle in Live will be accomplished to take care of the babies. On the off chance that any action, for example, pee or child awakening from rest happens a notification through an MQTT server will be sent to the parent's device. This innovation also have extra features such as swinging the cradle automatically and also manually by android devices via geared motor mechanism and MQTT server monitoring. Also, some extra highlights, for example, watching in Live by Node MCU camera. Use of various sensors such as LM35 for sound detection, Sensors for Humidity and temperature etc. add to productivity of cradle. In this 21st century parents and care takers cannot make their whole time investing in taking care and monitoring of their babies, so this smart cradle will do the job efficiently for parents and caregivers.

The current number of working mothers has greatly increased. Subsequently, baby care has become a daily challenge to many families. Thus, most parents send their babies to their grandparents' house or to baby care houses. However, the parents cannot continuously monitor their babies' conditions either in normal or abnormal situations. Therefore, an Internet of Things-based Baby Monitoring System (IoT-BBMS) is proposed as an efficient and low-cost IoT-based system for monitoring in real time. We also proposed a new algorithm for our system that plays a key role in providing better baby care while parents are away. In the designed system, Node Micro-Controller Unit (NodeMCU) Controller Board is exploited to gather the data read by the sensors and uploaded via Wi-Fi to the AdaFruit MQTT Server. The proposed system exploits sensors to monitor baby's vital parameters, such as ambient temperature, moisture, and crying. A prototype of the proposed baby cradle has been designed using Nx Siemens software, and a red meranti wood is used as the material for the cradle. The system architecture consists of a baby cradle that will automatically swing using a motor when the baby cries. Parents can also monitor their babies' condition through an external web camera and switch on the lullaby toy located on the baby cradle remotely via the MQTT server to entertain the baby. The proposed system prototype is fabricated and tested to prove its effectiveness in terms of cost and simplicity and to ensure safe operation to enable the baby-parenting anywhere and anytime through the network. Finally, the baby monitoring system is proven to work effectively in monitoring the baby's situation and surrounding conditions according to the prototype.
