So what did we achieve in the end? A friggin awesome baby crib, that’s what!
The baby crib featured not one but two cameras, one for night and one for day. Inside the crib there were several sensors measuring the baby’s temperature, if it had wet the bed and if it had pooped.
A microphone close to the baby’s head registered and recorded if the baby was crying and classified the baby’s cries using a machine learning model. When the baby was crying, sweet lullabies started playing through speakers and lulled the baby to sleep.
All the sensor data was securely stored in the cloud and could be read by a mobile application. Here you got a nice view of the baby and could see the most recent sensor data and the status of the baby.
Our control panel at the base of the crib can start an automatic rocking sequence using silent electromagnets, or start the entertainment system which started the blinking baby mobile with 3D printed figurines.
All-in-all we were very happy with our solution and believe that it is something that parents actually need. But maybe with a few more isolated cables and better cable management…
