Raspberry Pi, the company that sells tiny, cheap, single-board computers, is releasing an add-on that is going to open up several use cases — and

Raspberry Pi and Sony have co-developed a Raspberry Pi AI Camera module that’s launching today for $70. It comes with onboard AI processing that can help Raspberry Pi users develop “edge AI solutions that process visual data” with ease,

The foundation says this camera has been designed to integrate perfectly with the Raspberry Pi software stack. That means developers and tinkerers should be able to get their own neural network models running on the Pi with relatively minimal effort.

The Raspberry Pi AI Camera combines an image sensor and AI computing unit, e.g. for object recognition. The controlling software is integrated in Raspi Linux.

Raspberry Pi's new AI Camera is the product of a collaboration with Sony. The camera works with all Raspberry Pi computers.

Raspberry Pi, in collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, just launched an AI-powered camera module called the Raspberry Pi AI Camera.

Raspberry Pi has launched a new AI Camera module in collaboration with Sony, priced at $70 and aimed at developers working on edge AI solutions. The AI Camera integrates Raspberry Pi's RP2040 microcontroller with Sony's IMX500 image sensor, enabling users to process visual data without needing extra components like GPUs or accelerators.

The Raspberry Pi AI Kit is only compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 but the new AI Camera with a Sony IMX500 image sensor works with all of the company's devices.

Featuring an embedded RP2040, the Raspberry Pi AI Camera's Sony IMX500 handles the AI processing duties itself, leaving the main CPU ready to work on other tasks.
