Description

Kick start your artificial intelligence development with the OKdo Raspberry Pi Kit for AI. The kit includes a Coral USB Accelerator, Raspberry Pi 4 computer, and 16GB micro SD Card with OS and Vision AI image library, as well as a selection of quality accessories to use in your projects such as a camera module, HDMI cable, power supply and case. This kit enables you to quickly and easily build and deploy high-accuracy image classification. So whatever problem you are trying to solve, this Raspberry Pi AI kit is perfect for any AI and ML application.

Details

This Raspberry Pi AI kit is an ideal choice for students, professional engineers, makers and manufacturers that are looking for a simple way to experiment with machine learning and vision-based AI solutions. With the inclusion of the Coral USB Accelerator in the kit, users can bring high-speed ML inferencing to existing systems.

The kit also includes an 8MP Raspberry Pi camera, so users are equipped with the components to explore image recognition and build their own intelligent camera system that can recognise common objects featured in the Google Vision AI image library. 

What is the Google Coral USB Accelerator?

In short, it’s an Edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) designed to handle massive parallel tasks, so you get a lot of computing power in a low-power (energy) device. It can perform 4 trillion operations per second (TOPS), using 0.5 watts for each TOPS, and can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models at almost 400 frames per second.

AI Kit Benefits

This kit allows you to pretty much add artificial intelligence capabilities to any project. 

Furthermore, by adding the USB accelerator to the Raspberry Pi 4, it hugely speeds up the ML and AI capabilities of the overall system.

For local (no access to the internet required – standalone system//edge-based device) real-time vision-based AI, this is a viable solution.

Quick Start Tips

Here is a quick ”guide” for start using the Pi AI kit:

1. 1: Assemble the Pi (Add the cooling profiles, put it in the box).
2. 2: Attach everything to the Pi (Mouse, keyboard, micro SD card, monitor, Google Coral, and power).
3. 3: Wait for the pi to power up, it’s ready when the desktop is shown (first boot will take longer than a normal boot, because of partition resize, etc).

When the desktop is ready:

1. At first boot open the read me text file and follow the steps to set up the environment.
2. Open the Google Coral Info text file.
3. Here you find the 3 preinstalled demos, and how to run them. All commands are run in a terminal window!
4. We have collected a couple of links at the end of the file, for more information regarding the software and hardware used. 
5. When you have done something cool, share it with us at OKdo! #designtheworld
