Abstract

The design and fabrication of an automatic infant cradle rocking machine that can be coupled to any existing market-available mechanical cradle and transformed to an automatic smart cradle rocker was accomplished. This autonomous baby cradle rocker employs a high torque gear motor to facilitate the cradle bed in rocking and allowing the infant to sleep peacefully. In addition to swinging the cradle, this system contains an auxiliary temperature sensor that detects and manages the warmth using a fan to cool the cradle and an embedded humidity sensor that alerts the caregivers when the baby makes the bed wet.
