Raspberry Pi has introduced the Raspberry Pi AI Camera, an add-on module designed for vision-based AI applications, priced at $70. This camera features a Sony IMX500 image sensor and is powered by the RP2040 microcontroller, allowing for on-board AI processing. This design enables the camera to capture and process images using common neural network models without burdening the host Raspberry Pi, which can continue other operations simultaneously. The AI Camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers and comes pre-loaded with the MobileNet-SSD model for real-time object detection. While Raspberry Pi's products were initially aimed at hobbyists, the company now primarily serves industrial clients, with 72% of its sales coming from this sector. Potential applications for the AI Camera include smart city sensors for monitoring parking and traffic, as well as automated quality assurance in industrial settings. Raspberry Pi has committed to keeping the AI Camera in production until at least January 2028, ensuring reliable sourcing for companies that utilize their products.
