The initial intention to protect babies from theft, the work of students of the Semarang State Polytechnic (Polines) is worth a try.
The innovative product that was made was named the Anti-Theft Baby Carriage with Control of Hand Position, which is abbreviated as Tabiat Maling Kepot. Done by Naufal Agastia (D-3 Electronic Engineering) as team leader, Pramuditya Purba Aji (D-3 Electronic Engineering), Enrico Maulana Wantoro (D-3 Electronic Engineering), Herlambang Dianisa Anggraheni (D-3 Mechanical Engineering), Novia Aulia Nor Fitryan (D-3 Islamic Banking) with his supervisor Ilham Sayekti STMKom .
Naufal Agastia (Team Leader) said that the stroller that we created was different from other strollers. "This baby carriage can be controlled based on the tilt position of the hand, so the stroller does not need to be pushed manually," he said. Simply by moving your hand to a certain position, this stroller can move forward, backward, turn right or left. The position of the hand, he continued, is read using the sensors on the smartphone, namely sensors gyro or slope. The sensor is in the form of an electronic module wearable shaped like a bracelet and worn on the wrist. The tilt of the hand position is read by the sensor gyro which then translates into the movement of the stroller.
Tabiat Maling Kepot is equipped with a seat belt that can only be opened using the electronic module on the wrist. So that only the user of the module can open the seat belt on the stroller. If the seat belt is forcibly opened, the stroller will sound an alarm as a preventive measure against the widespread theft of babies. This stroller has a proximity sensor that functions to detect obstacles around the stroller. The use of this proximity sensor is intended so that the stroller does not hit the obstacles that are around it.
The movement and safety system of the stroller has been tested, and the result is that the stroller can move according to the position of the hand, the load of the stroller can reach more than 15 kg and the speed is up to 1m/s. The stroller can also stop if there is a barrier in front of it, and the seat belt lock can only be opened through the module used by the stroller controller.
The hope is that this innovative product can be mass produced. Of course with adjustments according to market tastes. "It can be marketed to the wider community, making it easier for parents to take care of their babies," he concluded.
