Description
Infant suffocation is a leading cause of injury and death, yet current infant product testing relies on static or overly simplified models that fail to capture realistic infant motion such as rolling and wiggling. This gap prevents product designers and regulators from detecting hazards arising from infant movement early in development, allowing suffocation risks to go undetected until after products reach the market and serious harm occurs. The primary objective is to create an approximately 20-25 pound robotic baby boy that is capable of rolling over to determine the suffocation likelihood in baby products.
