Intelligent Self-Propelling Baby Stroller with Obstacle Avoidance

摘要

The aim of this project is to present the development of a self-propelling baby stroller with obstacle avoidance, using wireless technology. Carrying infants or children in public is very challenging for parents, especially for those who bring their baby stroller in crowds. Thus, this study offers the self-propelling baby stroller via bluetooth technology, which can be used as a safety and alert system to handle the stroller movement. The initiative of this study is to overcome the traumatizing and carelessness of the parents in monitoring infants inside a baby stroller. This system is a combination of software and hardware components to control and operate the movement of a baby stroller. The system design is divided into three parts: designing hardware circuit; designing software in C-language to program the Arduino UNO; and designing an application for Android phone as a controller. Furthermore, the uses of bluetooth and ultrasonic in this study can detect and prevent the stroller from crashing the obstacle.
