Design and Fabrication of Arduino-Based Automated Cradle Rocking and Moisture Detection Mechanism

Abstract

: A new, inexpensive domestic electronic cradle that can compete with current imported, expensive models has been a long-time need. This study describes the design and implementation of a new indigenous low-cost E-Baby Cradle that swings automatically when the baby cries. The cry analyzing system recognizes the sound of a baby's cry and swings the cradle appropriately until the baby stops crying. According to the user's needs, the cradle's speed can be adjusted. The cradle also has an integrated alarm that signals two situations: First, when the mattress is wet, which is a crucial factor in maintaining the baby's hygienic state; second, when the infant continues to cry for a prolonged period, which suggests that the baby requires attention. This method enables nurses and parents to care for infants without having to physically touch them.
