Suima Robotic Crib "Takes Care Of" Your Kids

Most of the world may not quite be ready to give up their infants to soulless robots, but Japan has no problem with it. And why should they? The Suima robotic crib lets you have your cake and eat it too, promising both you and your baby a full night's sleep. Alright, perhaps that was not the most appropriate metaphor, but anyway… The crib listens to your infant, and if it hears crying, will start to swing itself back and forth every 1.8 seconds, approximating (they say) a parent's heartbeat, until the infant falls back to sleep.
Looks like a pretty nice crib, but it's not cheap: in Japan, you can rent the Suima crib for $100 a month or buy it for $5000ish. For that amount of money, you could quite easily (I'm pretty sure) set up an equivalent noise activated rocking mechanism by yourself.
