Sony makes a strategic investment in Raspberry Pi

As an increasing number of developers and corporations create products using Raspberry Pi development boards, Sony has recently announced a strategic investment in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, incorporating their Aitrios edge computing artificial intelligence platform into Raspberry Pi’s application design.

By integrating the Aitrios edge computing AI platform with the Raspberry Pi development boards, developers will be able to utilize Sony’s advanced facial recognition and image sensing technologies, enabling the creation of object detection and facial recognition applications.

Moreover, developers and enterprises can continue to benefit from the Raspberry Pi’s lightweight, affordable, and highly adaptable design, fostering the development of additional edge computing and monitoring solutions. Consequently, the collaboration between Raspberry Pi and Sony is anticipated to spur further innovative designs.

On another note, leveraging Sony’s computer vision capabilities provided by its image sensor chips will enhance the production capacity of Raspberry Pi within the United Kingdom, thereby ameliorating the supply issues of Raspberry Pi development boards.
