Systems and methods are disclosed for autonomously soothing babies. An example method may include receiving a first sound input from a microphone, processing the first sound input, determining a baby status based at least in part on the first sound input, determining an output action based at least in part on the baby status; and implementing the output action at the children's apparatus.

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a children's apparatus comprising one or more computer processors coupled to at least one memory, a first sound input from a microphone;processing the first sound input comprising: determining a Fourier transform of the first sound input; anddetermining a standard deviation of the Fourier transform;determining a baby status based at least in part on the standard deviation of the Fourier transform;determining an output action based at least in part on the baby status; andimplementing the output action at the children's apparatus. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein processing the first sound input further comprises detecting an acoustic signature of a baby's cry using a sound processing algorithm. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the sound processing algorithm comprises a mel frequency cepstral coefficient sound processing algorithm. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining a power spectral density estimate of the first sound input; anddetermining a maximum value of the power spectral density estimate;determining that the standard deviation and the maximum value are associated with the output action;wherein determining the baby status is based at least in part on the maximum value. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the baby status is an uncomfortable baby status, the method further comprising: determining an operational mode of the device; anddetermining an active device setting modification profile using the operational mode;wherein determining the output action comprises selecting an output action using the active device setting modification profile. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the baby status comprises selecting the baby status from one of: a crying status, a whining status, a babbling status, a laughing status, or a non-baby status. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the output action comprises adjusting a swing speed, adjusting a vibration intensity, or adjusting a sound output volume. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first sound input is a discrete segment of sound data or streaming sound data. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining that the baby status is a soothed baby status; andimplementing a post-soothing device setting modification. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the baby status is a first baby status and the output action is a first output action, the method further comprising: receiving a second sound input;processing the second sound input;determining a second baby status based at least in part on the second sound input;determining that the second baby status is different than the first baby status; anddetermining a second output action based at least in part on the second baby status. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting a motion of a baby; anddetermining an amount of motion of the baby;wherein determining the output action is based at least in part on the amount of motion of the baby. 12. An apparatus comprising: a baby supporting portion; andone or more processors configured to execute computer-executable instructions to: receive a first sound input;process the first sound input comprising: determining a Fourier transform of the first sound input; anddetermining a standard deviation of the Fourier transform;determine a baby status based at least in part on the standard deviation of the Fourier transform; anddetermine an output action based at least in part on the baby status. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the one or more processors is configured to determine the output action by adjusting a swing speed, adjusting a vibration intensity, or adjusting a sound output volume. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the baby status is a first baby status and the output action is a first output action, and wherein the one or more processors is further configured to: receive a second sound input;process the second sound input;determine a second baby status based at least in part on the second sound input;determine that the second baby status is different than the first sound input; anddetermine a second output action based at least in part on the second baby status. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising at least one of: a swing apparatus, a vibration motor, one or more light sources, or one or more speakers. 16. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising a motion sensor, wherein the one or more processors is further configured to: detect a motion of a baby; anddetermine an amount of motion of the baby;wherein the controller is configured to determine the output action is based at least in part on the amount of motion of the baby. 17. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the baby supporting portion is one of a swing or a rocker and the output action is one of adjusting a swing speed or adjusting a vibration intensity.
