9. An assembly (104) for automatic feeding comprising:
a set of sensors (106) configured to detect audio and voice within a pre-determined area of the cap and correspondingly generate a first set of signals;
an edible mixture dispenser (108) engaged with the assembly (104), wherein the dispenser (108) is configured to accommodate and store the edible mixture, wherein the dispenser (108) includes a dispensing means to dispense the edible mixture of a pre-determined quantity inside a container;
a heating element (110) engaged with the assembly (104), wherein the heating element (110) facilitates in heating the liquid along with the dispensed edible mixture when the assembly (104) is engaged with the container
a rotating member (112) removably coupled to the assembly (104), wherein the rotating member (112) enables in mixing of the liquid with the
dispensed edible mixture when the assembly (104) is engaged with the container;
a processor (118) in communication with the assembly (104), wherein the processor (118) includes a memory storing set of instructions, wherein upon execution of the set of instructions the processor is configured to:
generate and transmit a first set of actuation signals to the dispenser (108) in response to the received first set of signals and a second set of actuation signals to the heating element (110), and the rotating member (112), wherein the second set of actuation signals facilitate in actuating the heating element (110), and the rotating member (112) to facilitate mixing and heating of the edible mixture with the liquid;
compare temperature of the heated liquid with a pre¬determined temperature limit stored in a database, and correspondingly generate a set of alert signals and a set of deactivating signals, when the compared temperature is beyond the pre-determined temperature limit, wherein the set of alert signals are transmitted to an alert unit (116) operatively coupled to the assembly (104), and in communication with the processor (118), and wherein the set of deactivating signals are transmitted to the heating element (110) to deactivate the heating element (110). 10. The assembly (104) for automatic feeding as claimed in claim 9, wherein the assembly (104) is removably coupled to the container, wherein the container is adapted to accommodate and store a liquid, and wherein the assembly (104) facilitates in mixing and heating of the liquid with the edible mixture at a pre-determined temperature.
