SYNOPSIS
There is a need to develop a new low cost indigenous
electronic cradle because the existing cradles are imported
and costly. Final year ece projects in chennai
,bangalore ,vijayawada,kakinada. This paper presents
the design and implementation of a new indigenous low
cost Baby Cradle that swings automatically when baby
cries, for this it has a mobile phone video analyzing system
which detects the baby cry video with audio and
accordingly the cradle swings till the baby stops crying. The
speed of the cradle can be controlled as per the user need.
The system has inbuilt alarm that indicates two conditions
first when the mattress is wet, which is an important
parameter to keep the baby in hygienic condition, second
when baby does not stop crying within a stipulated time,
which
in
turn

INTRODUCTION

Since the evolution of humans , mothers play an important role in

taking care of children. Final year embedded system projects
in chennai ,bangalore,vijayawada,kakinada.
But parents in the present world are busy in their professional life.
The system is designed to help parents and nurses in infants care.
The project intimates the care takers by sending both alert
message as well as video and audio calls when a baby cries.
www.embeddedinnovationlab.com
Parents can control the cradle movement with a keypad press.
Respiratory sensors and Wet sensors are also used to detect
respiratory rates and wetness respectively.
Thus this project is a solution, for parents at home who lose sleep
over a baby who constantly wakes up and cries.

Working
When the baby in the cradle cries, the cry will be detected by the
microphone.
The signals are then amplified by the amplifier then it is sent to the
peak detector where cry peaks will be detected and further the signal is
sent to microcontroller. Final year mechanical engineering
projects in chennai,bangalore,vijayawada,kakinada
Sensors used:
Wet sensor.
Temperature sensor.
Respiration sensor.
The GSM modem via RS232 interface, the modem will send a message
or a call to the mobile number stored in the modem as an alert.
www.embeddedinnovationlab.com
Using the Skype technology can observe the video of the baby.
Control the Cradle movement.

Design Aims
When baby cry parent can automatically swings the cradle till
the baby stops crying.
Final

Alerts the parent when the mattress gets wet.
Alert parent by giving temperature as well as respiration rate by
of SMS.
Alerts the parent by giving call or sending SMS.
The parents can have a video interface and watch their baby LIVE
via 3G! SKYPE TECHNOLOGY.

Steven Bang
Steven
Bang
designed
automatic baby rocker having a
noise sensor to detect baby cry.
Noise
sensor
consists
of
Electret MIC with a pre amplifier
(2n3904 transistor). Signal from
noise
sensor
is
fed
to
microcontroller which is used
to control the DC motor. Final

bangalore,chennai,vijayawa
da,kakinada. Few colorful
lights made up of LED are used
to entertain the baby while
being rocked.

LITERATURE
SURVEY
Yang Hu
Yang Hu proposed an algorithm for
adjusting the bassinet swaying
extent by the sensor signals. The
bassinet is made up of an adaptive
swaying device and other sensors
network. While baby is crying, the
sensors network can judge the
reason according to detecting
parameters, giving the different
signals to control circuit. At the
same time, the bassinet starts to
sway slightly. The swaying rhythm
can be adjusted according to
parameters from baby status. [2].

LITERATURE
SURVEY
Marie R.Harper
Marie R. Harper invented a crib adapted to be
rocked automatically. Once the crib is
manually tilted in one direction and released,
this permits the inertia to actuate the locking
and actuating arms to operate under the
biasing force of spring in conjunction with the
gear. Thus spring loaded motor begin to
operate and the lever arm is oscillated in
back and forth movement. This provides the
same effect as would be achieved by the
mother rocking the crib containing the baby.
Oscillation of crib is stopped when the
slightest resistance is incurred [3].

LITERATURE
SURVEY
Gim Wong
Gim
Wong
presented
an
Electronic device that can be
attached
to
conventional
pivotally mounted type crib.
Which is actuated by baby cry
voice
picked
up
by
the
microphone giving short throw
type rocking action to crib. Very
similar to a person rocking the
crib by pushing and pulling on
the foot or headboard . There is a
sensitivity control so that baby
voice only actuate the rocking
action and a timer to controller
the duration of rocking action [4].

LITERATURE
SURVEY

Chua-Kai-Hsieh
Chua-Kai-Hsieh proposed a baby
cry recognizer which includes an
amplifier circuit for amplifying a
received
sound
signal.
In
response to the amplified sound
signal, a pulse generator circuit
generates a pulse signal having
zero crossings which are aligned
with zero crossings of the
amplified sound signal. The pulse
signal, in turn, is inputted to a
signal recognition circuit. The
signal recognition circuit outputs
a signal indicating that a babys
cry was detected [5].

Anritha Ebenezer
Anritha Ebenezer gives an approach to
design a baby cradle consisting of cry
analyzing system which detects baby cry.
According to sound intensity cradle
swings. It has six rocks per minute. It has
wet sensor to indicates baby wets,
www.embeddedinnovationlab.comw
henever baby wets resistance would
change thus sending a signal. Other
sensors include temperature sensor to
display baby temperature, respiratory
sensor that sends a signal in apnea
condition. GSM modem via RS232 is used
to send message to parents in case baby
does not stop crying with in a particular
instant of time [6].

there is no breath) the microcontroller
would send a signal to the vibrator to alert
the baby.
