An IoT Smart Cradle for Tracking Babies

Abstract

Today IoT is a common technology. Many applications are designed based on IoT. One such important application is to use mobile phones to watch the activities of babies. If both the parents are working on a farm or if they are busy in their work, then it is difficult for them to nurture their infant. Therefore, we build an IoT-based cradle that lets the parent to track their child even they are far from home. In this paper we presented a smart cradle with continuous live surveillance. When a child cries, the bassinet instantly begins moving. This often warns parents if the infant is crying and if the mattress inside the bassinet is damp. Rotating toy is attached to cradle to entertain baby which may decrease the possibilities of baby cry.

Keywords: smart cradle, live surveillance, tracking, monitoring.
