Abstract: 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.
Index Terms - Automatic cradle, movement detection, bed-wet sensor, Passive infrared (PIR) sensor.
I. INTRODUCTION
Generally, the baby cradle is used to relax and help the baby fall asleep. For example, parents must look after their child till the infant
goes to sleep. However, traditional cradle doesn’t have provisions such as a battery or an adapter to automate the cradle. These traditional
cradles are more common in villages or rural areas due to it’s less cost and availability. But the fact is that we need human beings to
require care of your infant and your baby might not feel safe and comfortable in the normal cradle system. so, we'd like automatic cradle
system to take care of infant that consists of an independent power source. There are various other features provided by the infant cradle
baby system helpful which are beneficial for the parents. Within the present scenario parents are restricted to the work due to their hectic
schedule in their day-to-day life and so they don't get much time required by the infants to take care of them. It will be very difficult to
take care of the babies. It can lead to your increase in expenses on monthly basis. In today’s world even the mothers don’t have sufficient
time to sit at nearby place along with their infants to help them whenever they are in trouble. Despite of this fact that this process is
automatic, this tool has proven to be of great relief for the parents and as well as nurses in medical units and wards of hospital.

II. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

Below are the listed objectives of the project:
• To change the way the baby is taken care of and converting it to an intelligent way, so that various other factors like wetness,
temperature and wetness can be detected properly.
• To innovate an infant cradle system which is precautionary and serves the purpose of warming of the baby with using various
sensors like sensors of PIR which helps in the detection of the baby movement and so that baby can also be stayed away from
infection and his hygiene can be maintained at good level.
• To design cradle system with an innovation so it is coming out to be more convenient and less costly.
• Easy to use which means more user friendly and can listen to the instructions completely in an efficient manner.

III. NOVELTY OF THE PROJECT
3.1 Background of the problem
Under fast-paced life conditions, everyone is busy in their professional life including parents. With both working parents, it’s very difficult
to take care of their babies efficiently. They leave the house Early and come back late at the time of dinner. Also, not all parents can
afford a permanent help around the house.
Parents might not have the time to soothe their babies or rock their babies back to sleep in the middle of the night. Also, studies show that
the baby sleeps well while being rocked or swung lightly in a rhythmic manner. Considering the Global Scope, in western countries the
rooms of parents and baby are separate. With this we can clearly infer that many parents cannot attend their baby in the middle of the
night if he/she requires any assistance.
3.2 Problem Solution with Novelty
The concept of automated baby cradle originated in Japan in which only continuous cradling was provided with the help of servomotors.
It had the advantage of automatic cradling but in return the excessive cradling can wake the baby again and again.
It was highly required to develop a system that can turn ON-OFF the cradling as and when required. The initial cradles lacked one or the
other functionality. But as the cradles developed many insignificant improvements were made in the name of entertainment of the baby
to engage him. This made them highly expensive and inaccessible to the masses. The real problem was never addressed. In this project,
we aim to address the same problem that the cradle should be smart enough to start/stop the cradling automatically and inform the parent
if the baby continues to cry. Our approach is to identify the cause of unrest of the baby (Sleeplessness, Bedwetting, Crying, Hunger, etc.)
and deal with the cause, respectively.
Consider the situation if the baby cries in the night due to sleeplessness, the cradle will automatically start cradling and will continue to
do so till the sensors present in crib cannot detect baby movements i.e., the baby sleeps again. For the bedwetting situation, we have
equipped the cradle with temp/humidity sensor that will inform the parent of the situation using an alarm/buzzer. And furthermore, if the
baby continues to cry, we have provided a speaker in the crib itself that will play a recorded message in the mother’s voice so that the
baby feels at ease. All the products available in the current market either lack one or more functionalities or are very expensive so there
is not much innovation in this sector. We aim to provide maximum functionality with usable features while keeping check on the costing.
All the technologies used to develop the cradle are now available everywhere and are inexpensive if viewed from a large-scale point of
view. Our final goal is to integrate the Cradle to the Smart Home Automation systems. This will give a sense of completion to the utilities
/ requirements of a smart home.
IV. MARKET AND LITERATURE REVIEW
The cradle is developed having a motor which will spin the mobile toy and noise sensor detection which will sense the sound when the
baby is crying or is uneasy. Automatic movement of cradle takes place when baby cries at a higher pitch. A servo motor will swing the
cradle up to a point that is safe when infant is inside the cradle. The limitation of this paper is it creates more noise due to which baby
as gets disturbed. The proposed system is not skilled enough for handling sound. [12]
4.1 What is a sensor?
It is a device which detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it. So, once the location of
baby is known then cradle sends the notices on various points to the parents and then the cradle system starts moving making baby
swing so that infant can feel safe and comfortable. In case an infant does not stop crying after a certain point of time then an alarming
sound is turned on like buzzer and parents know that the baby is in danger and needs their help so the necessary step can be taken
accordingly.[13]
PIR sensor has been used in this project to detect the baby movement. Arduino Uno has been used for the smooth working and
functioning of a variety of switches or sensors and controlling a variety of outputs such as the working of the motor and detect the
temperature and sounds to make the baby cradle safe and comfortable. [14]
We have seen in India or any other nation that both parents need to go to work and look after the baby which increases pressure on both
the parents. If a system is developed that can help parents to keep an update about baby during illness or even during normal routine,
can be great help to such families as they can worry less about the baby and concentrate on work challenges. [15]
Also, any unusual activity can be instantly tracked, and an alert will be issued about the situation and can be immediately taken care of.
In general condition baby cries when he/she is either hungry, not feeling well, awaken from sleep or need its diaper changed. [16]
So, in this proposed prototype we put forward an idea of a cradle that is smart enough to monitor the above-mentioned activities, find
its cause and give an alert to the parents. Communication will be done by Arduino interface to which PIR sensor is an integral part. In
this way we can keep track of some biomedical parameters of the infant.[17]

5.1.6 Power source
We have used two power sources for each system. Since Arduino Uno needs 9 V input power maximum, so we can operate the prototype
by using transistor battery.
VI. DESCRIPTION OF INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
For the automation of cradle, we have used several components and each of them plays a vital role in the smooth functioning of
the cradle. Given below is the list and description of the components used in the project.
1. MIC: The main function of this microphone is to check the noise of the infant when it makes loud voices and convert them
into electrical pulses.
2. Baby Bassinet: This is the bed of the baby. Baby Bassinet function is that it gets swing when it gets some electrical energy
from the circuit to which it is attached, and motor is attached with it.
3. Speaker: We will record the mother’s voice and heartbeat and play them, so that the child feels the presence of his mother. So,
the baby will feel comfortable and might stop crying.
4. LCD: We are using 2 lines 16 segments each for the display purpose. The values of 2 set points and the actual data which is to
be compared for the operation of the relays are displayed on the LCD.
5. Fluid sensor to avoid the problems like pneumonia, through this sensor we can detect the wetness of the mattress. Such a sensor
is called as fluid sensor.
6. Alarm: Alarm will be generated on two conditions:
a) In a certain condition when bed gets wet then it indicates to the baby parents about the same.
b) When baby cries for some time. This depicts that the baby needs attention
7. An intuitive motorized Toy can be installed on the upper handle of the cradle to engage the baby into it and prevent further
crying by diverting its attention.
VII. SYSTEM BLOCK IMPLEMENTATION
The block diagram explains the working of project.
1. When the baby is made to sleep on the smart bed various sensors like Temperature sensor, Wet sensor and Mic will get activated
and catch the various outputs of the child.
2. according to the outputs given by baby.
3. If the mic detects the sound of the baby, then the recorded sound of the mother will be played through the speaker to make the
baby comfortable.
4. This equipment also includes dc motor, oscillating bed and link. The links will be actuated by the shafts with the help of dc
motor-1 and then the be will oscillate with a constant speed.
5. Motor-2 will oscillate the toy to make the baby comfortable.
This system contains an Alarm that indicates the two conditions, first is when the mattress is wet, which is an important factor to keep
the in mind of the hygienic condition of the baby and the second is when the baby does not stop crying which means the baby needs
attention.

IX. SYSTEM FLOW
The steps of the algorithm are as follows:
Step 1: The microcontroller reads the microphone values (MV) from analogue pin A0; this value represents the ADC samples with
resolutions of 10 bits, with possible values between -512 and 511.
Step 2: The microcontroller continues reading MV for 10 seconds with a delay of 5 milliseconds between samples to get MV frames of
2,000 samples.
Step 3: The microcontroller computes the average value (AV) of the frame MV to use in a simple sound recognition procedure based
on comparing the AV value with a threshold (Thr) to decide motor rotation. The procedure for sound recognition is not suitable for
noisy rooms, though it is suitable for normal quiet rooms and efficient in terms of real time processing.
Step 4: If AV >Thr, make pins 5 and 6 high and low, respectively to rotate the motor in a forward direction. Set pin 9 to (100) to refer
to the low speed (30 rpm) and go to the next step. Otherwise return to step 1.
Step 5: Read the MV vector for 60 seconds with a delay of 5 milliseconds between every two samples. Compute AV of MV and check
if AV >Thr, then make the motor rotate at speed 2 by writing pin 9 to (180) and go to the next step. Otherwise, make pins 5 and 6 low
and write 0 on pin 9 to stop the motor, and return to step 1.
Step 6: Read the MV vector for 30 seconds with a delay of 5 milliseconds between each two samples. Subsequently, compute the AV
of MV and check if AV >Thr, then play the MP3 by making pin 3 high and go to the next step. Otherwise, reduce the motor speed to
speed 1 by writing (100) on pin 9 and waiting for 30 seconds to stop the motor and MP3; return to step 1.
Step 7: Read the MV vector for 3 minutes with a delay of 5 milliseconds between each two samples.
Subsequently, compute the AV of MV and check if AV >Thr, in which case the microcontroller calls the designated adult by sending
an SMS using GSM while the motor and MP3 continue running. While computed AV >Thr, repeat step 7, Otherwise, reduce the motor
speed to speed 1 by writing (100) on pin 9 and waiting for 60 seconds to stop the motor and MP3; loop to step 1.
