Abstract: The present invention provides an intelligent automated smart baby cradle system that has been designed to monitor infant conditions in real time and to respond autonomously without continuous manual caregiver intervention. The system comprises a cradle body (1) supported on a mechanically adjustable support frame (3) with ratchet height adjustment mechanism (4), locking pawl (19), wheels (5), and wheel stoppers (6). Controlled rocking oscillation is generated by an oscillation mechanism constituted by a motor (7), crank (8), and pivot joint (9), responsive to infant cry signals detected by a microphone (12). A moisture sensor (13) utilizing conductivity based detection beneath the mattress (2) identifies infant wetness and issues hygiene alerts. A motion sensor (14) monitors infant movement patterns and flags safety anomalies, while a temperature sensor (15) assesses ambient thermal comfort. A camera module (16) provides live visual monitoring. All sensor outputs are processed by a microcontroller unit (10) that activates the oscillation motor (7), speaker (18), and communication module (17) based on programmed condition logic. The communication module (17) transmits alerts, sensor data, and live camera feed to a paired caregiver mobile application, which also supports remote manual control and optional geofencing alerts. A power supply unit (11) with rechargeable battery backup ensures a minimum two-hour continuous operation. The invention has particular applicability in domestic, hospital, and maternity care environments
