Abstract: | The cornerstone of our project is Women Empowerment; by providing them with an Automatic
Baby Soothing and Monitoring System, with a special focus on developing countries i.e.
Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and other South Asian countries. This project is the personification
of a Smart Baby Cradle, brought about by integrating distinctive features i.e. automatic cradle
swing (using cry detection system), interactive toys and camera (for monitoring purposes), in a
single unit. This project entails the concepts of electronics, machine learning and mechanical
motion; employed to create a positive and progressive impact on society. This Automatic Baby
Soothing and Monitoring System detects voice around the cradle, classifies it and decides
whether to rock the cradle or not, based on the classification. Moreover, if crying does not stop, it
employs music and interactive toys; to soothe the baby. In the event of constant crying, it also
has a fail-safe mechanism. In such an event, it generates an alert on mothers cell phone,
informing her that the child is crying constantly and she is needed right away. In this way, it
aspires to bring certain amount of relief to mother, and help her balance work and domestic life. This Automatic Baby Soothing and Monitoring System aspires to achieve certain objectives. It
will provide a smart solution for child-care industry. It will help working women balance their
work and domestic chores; so that they can work in tandem with their male counterparts, for the
progress of their country. It will be a step closer to UN Sustainable Development Goal #5 -
Gender Equality, which in turn, will brighten up the positive image of our county. Along with
the increasing digital in every walk of life, it will most certainly play an important role to
achieve a global digital future. It will eventually create a positive impact on society by empowering the women to a certain capacity. |
