LAS VEGAS, United States — A robotic crib with a mission of preventing sudden infant death syndrome made its appearance this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, part of a growing "baby tech" exhibit. "Companies provide Snoo free," Romanova said of the robo-cribs, which are priced at $1,295. If the strongest rocking setting doesn't quiet a baby, the Snoo stops and sends a parent a smartphone message to check on the child. Speakers built into the sides generate white noise, the volume of which rises along with the intensity of baby crying. Belt-like "wings" strap swaddled babies snugly in place to prevent them from rolling into positions known to contribute to sudden infant death syndrome, ostensibly saving lives of infants.
