Abstract:

Parenting is not an easy task. Good parenting requires the parent to quickly respond to the needs of their child. Constant monitoring of the child also becomes a necessity, especially up to an age of 18 months. In this work, a mobile robotic device has been designed and developed. This device can help a parent to keep track of their baby and its surroundings without having to check on the baby every now and then. Advanced Baby Care System (ABCS) has a Master Controller (Arduino Mega 2560), which integrates all the different modules of the robot by receiving the necessary signals from the sensor modules and sending signals to the trigger alarm and the DC motors. The master controller selected for ABCS is the Arduino Mega 2560. It is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. This board can be easily interfaced with the CMUCam5 module, used for tracking, as well as other sensors which are being used in the project. ABCS is an intelligent, baby friendly system, which integrates many functions into a single device, automatically alerting the parent when it is necessary and allowing them to carry on with their activities uninterrupted.
