A child speech development and walking aid system.

Abstract

A Child Speech Development and Aid System was designed, developed and tested to reduce in children developmental delays that is; improve walking and speech development even in the absence of care takers. The system is implemented on an Arduino board with an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles. This is mounted on top of a movable system which has a soft seat with two leg holes where the baby stands for him to be able to move. The system also has a speaker that outputs baby sounds initially stored on a Scan Disk card which help the baby in speech development. The entire system is able to move by the help of Direct Current motors which are connected to the wheels. The system can be started or stopped by the help of the mobile application which is connected to the system via a Bluetooth connection. The application also notifies the care taker in case the system gets faulty.
