Google Is Bringing AI To Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, here's something big coming your way this year. Tech giant Google is reportedly in the planning stages of bringing the gifts of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to the tiny in size but big on features Raspberry Pi in the year 2017.

According to The Raspberry Pi Foundation, "Google is going to arrive in style in 2017. The tech titan has exciting plans for the maker community."

The Foundation also added that the tech giant aims to make a range of smart tools available by the end of this year. Google's range of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology can enable the maker community to come up with more innovative and powerful projects than they were previously unable to do because of the limited features.

Google has reportedly developed a huge and diverse range of tools right for home automation, machine learning, Internet of Things, robotics, wearables, and it is now floating a survey amongst the Raspberry Pi fans in order to understand what tools they want them to provide.

Google's survey mentions natural language processing and sentiment analysis, as well as face- and emotion-recognition and speech-to-text translation. In addition to the aforementioned tools, the advertising-to-cloud-computing giant will also be providing Raspberry Pi with an extremely powerful technology for bots, predictive analytics, and navigation.

According to The Raspberry Pi Foundation, not only will the survey help Google in getting a feel for the Raspberry Pi community, but it'll also help the community in getting the kinds of services they need.

Selling over ten million units, this tiny, low-cost Raspberry Pi board has scripted an unexpected success story. It's developers had initially thought that they won't be able to sell more than 1,000 units, so the sales figures came as a pleasant surprise for them.

Raspberry Pi started its journey in February, 2012 with an initial aim of inspiring more and more UK students to take up computer science, but over the years, the Pi has been successful in having a far more wider impact than that.

Raspberry Pi Sales Pass 5 Million

The makers of Raspberry Pi, a low cost credit card sized microcomputer, have a reason to celebrate. The tiny, electronic device has sold an impressive five million units and that too within just three years of being launched in the market. According to Eben Upton, the creator of Pi, the microcomputer was initially launched with a target of selling just “a few thousand” units over its entire lifetime. It seems the UK based makers had set an over-modest goal for their tiny wonder.

This wonderful product from the United Kingdom comes at an attractive price of $ 25 for Model A Pi and $35 for the Model B Pi. Its attractive price and amazing features have been successful in stirring interest in homebrew computing powered by the Pi. Nowadays, everything from robotics projects to DIY computers are being built with the credit card sized microcomputer at their core. The Pi has also found a huge liking and usage in the whole startup businesses.

The UK based makers launched Pi with an original mission of getting more and more United Kingdom school kids to coding and the microcomputer has been successful in making some real progress there. But, Pi’s impact has not been just restricted to the United Kingdom. According to Upton, the credit card sized microcomputer has gained significant popularity all around the world- especially in North America.

Seeing the success and popularity of the Raspberry Pi, the foundation has recently launched Pi 2, a fully fledged sequel to the Raspberry Pi, in the market. The Pi 2 is said to be six times faster than the original Pi and comes with double the memory space. Even though the Pi 2 is a marked improvement from the original Pi, the makers have still been able to retain the original price of $35.

The Raspberry Pi sequel makes a perfect entry level personal computer at $35. Even Microsoft is trying to capitalize on Pi’s success and has announced to offer its Windows 10 to Raspberry Pi’s users absolutely free of cost. The launch of Pi 2 will surely help the UK based credit card sized microcomputer bump way past its overall sales figure of 5 million units.

Tweeting about its new achievement, the Raspberry Pi Foundation mentioned that it has now become the biggest selling UK computer manufacturer ever.
