The results from our brainstorming took into account both customer and engineering requirements.After ideation, we narrowed down our design and construction of a smart baby crib to include the following (in priority order): (i) Bassinet with 3 DOF to mimic bouncing motions (ii) Embedded microphones to detect a child’s response to a given rocking pattern and sound sequence. (iii) Embedded speakers to play white noise or recorded sequences (iv) Internal algorithm to determine best rocking and sound patterns for a given child based on microphone polling and stored data. (v) Real time notifications of a child’s sleep stats. |
