International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2023

Baby care has grown increasingly vital and difficult for working women in recent years. Working mothers will not have enough time at home to regularly check their babies. They delegate responsibility for their baby to a baby sitter or send the baby to their grandparents' home. A smart cradle with an automatic baby monitoring system was designed in the proposed work. The necessary parameters of the infant, such as temperature, heartbeat rate, gas molecules, capture the movements, and position of the baby, were measured and monitored in the baby monitoring system. The infant monitoring system is connected to the cradle, creating an incubator-like environment for the baby. The infant monitoring device keeps an eye on the baby 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The mobile application will display the measured parameters concerning the baby's health, such as temperature, heartbeat rate, and wetness on the baby bed. The baby monitoring system prototype aids parents in time management while also making life easier for caregivers. This infant monitoring device has been shown to do the least amount of harm to the baby while providing the highest level of accuracy. Though several models are already available on the market, the primary goal of this research paper would be to propose an approach for recognizing a particular accent of an individual infant among a group of infants using advanced technologies like as Ai, NLP, or speech recognition. I. INTRODUCTION Given today's heightened living standards and hectic lifestyles, taking care of infants has become a very difficult duty because they require constant attention and supervision from the caregiver. But as technology has developed, smart baby cradles have appeared to lighten the load on parents and other caretakers. The smart baby cradle is an intelligent device with a variety of features, including the ability to swing the infant automatically whenever necessary, provide live monitoring via a web camera, provide entertainment by playing music or rotating a musical toy, detect baby cries, monitor the infant's vital signs, and send users alert messages when an event is detected (e.g. cry, baby wakeup, mattress wetness, real time monitoring etc). By offering continuous monitoring for infants, the smart baby cradle seeks to assist parents or caregivers in providing better care for babies and improving baby safety. The standard cradle, which lacks a battery or an adaptor that automatically automates the cradle. Because of the high economic expense, traditional cradles are used in rural and underdeveloped areas. The constant need for manpower to care for their child is its main downside, and such traditional cradles may also cause discomfort to the baby. As a result, we require an automated cradle that can care for the infant using a battery or an electrical power source. Furthermore, this automated cradle has additional features or functions that are advantageous to parents. The system includes temperature sensors, humidity sensors, sound sensors, and so on. All of these are linked to the Arduino. The message is transmitted to the parents, and the dc motor is employed to move the dummy shaft via the motor driver. Aside from that, the outcome can be viewed on the android application from anyplace in the remote area. This is considered a prototype for our project, although it may be adjusted based on our needs. As some examples of the cradle's advantages The user's needs can be taken into account when customising the cradle. It decreases the workforce as well. Parents who are away from their child can still keep an eye on them using a mobile device. The system's hardware is controlled by an Arduino module, and the baby's movement is tracked using a USB camera and an ultrasonic sensor. The primary goal of this project is to create and implement a baby care cradle that keeps track of a baby's movements and wetness, particularly when it is removed from an unsanitary environment. Userfriendly-simple and having a user guide that is straightforward to understand. This is commercially viable and will offer a creative and adaptable cradle. The current project requires less human labour. Aside from that, the entire system is movable, making it simple to relocate from one room to another. The device has a lot of room for advancement, which should lead to its commercial availability and appeal. The suggested remedy strives to raise the standard of the current infant cradle system. The camera module that is attached to the cradle aids in continuous monitoring of the baby as part of the system we have presented, which intends to monitor the signals of the baby, including body temperature and humidity.

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.

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.

This paper describes the analysis of sound signals specifically infant crying sound through audio signal digital processing for development of automated portable cradle system sound detector. The input sound signals are filtered to a certain frequency range in order to swing the cradle and then the signals are analyzed. In order to analyze the sound signals, the system undergoes a certain process which is audio signal processing. Certain signal processing techniques have been used to observe the waveform of the sound signals. The purpose is to compare between six different types of sounds visually. The results obtained shows that the sound signals are visually distinguishable with one another after applying the processing techniques.

A mechanized baby smart cradle system based on IoT, smart sensing and deep learning machine vision techniques is proposed in this paper. This system emphasizes the importance of baby care. By monitoring infant body conditions such as, baby body temperature, sleeping posture of baby, as well as the condition surrounded by baby such as light, noise, humidity and temperature, the projected system can examine and predict the obvious/potential dangerous conditions according to observed data and then adopt suitable actions in real time to protect the infant from harm to the sleeping baby. It is the device which is manufactured and design for the safe and comfortable sleep of a new born baby, in the generation where the mothers goes work and not having much free time because of their jobs. So it is essential that sum one should be there to take care of baby, his sleep, his hygiene until the mother comes. We are going to manufacture this cradle to satisfy such needs of such working conditions by using crank rockers mechanism which holds the baby weight and over all mechanism of assembly. By providing them with an Automatic Baby Monitoring System, with a special focus on developing and emerging countries. The safe design if manufacturer by using the designing software that helps to get safe design of cradel. For the easy motion of the cradle dc motor and links are used to oscillate the cradle and sensing the wet condition is detected by the sensors with the help of the Arduino kit. It also attached with the moister sensor to maintain the sanitization of baby. The electric motor will actuate links by shaft. The links actuate the rod attached to the bed at constant speed. The carriage is attached to the metal rod through springs which will provide a vibratory motion. It will ensure the motion of the cradle with a comfortable speed for the baby. Motor, links and sensors are attached to the side of the cradle frame. High strength and light weight material is used for the manufacturing of the cradle. This project is the personification of mother into a mechanized Smart Baby Cradle, brought about by mixing distinctive features i.e. automatic cradle swing (using cry detection system), interactive toys connected to cradle and communication module system (for continuous monitoring purposes on baby), in a single unit. The current era of digitization of movement of baby to the computer or some digital screen provides a large-scale availability of data as well as computing capability which can be used to bridge the gap between a child and a working mother. This paper proposes the use of "Smart Cradle" an Electronic Cradle which involves the use of Internet of Things. The planned solution involves live monitoring of the child through a mobile application software remotely. The smart cradle incorporates the use of passive infrared sensor for monitoring the movement of the child; Noise sensor for the detection of the child's crying activity and automatically swings the cradle to soothe the child. The DHT like humidity and temperature sensor notifies the parent about the body temperature of the child via text message or digitization of movement if baby in their respective screen of mobile phone or tv screen, when the temperature goes above the set threshold. The solution also includes Arduino sensors like moisture sensor to maintain the hygiene of the child. The proposed system uses the cloud service for remotely monitoring the child. In future we can made additional changes to this device such like monitoring the baby in their cell phones and computer screen. Or we can charge its battery by the sun with the help of photovoltaic cells or we can add some more sensors in the machine.
