Rasberry Pi and AI Combined

 
Rasberry Pi and AI Combined
Pi and AI
Are the likes of AI and deep neural networks purely the realm of expert engineers, scientists and mathematicians?

We don't think so, so we built a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B based object-identifying appliance, using an Intel Movidius, a Pmod HAT, a Pi camera and a Digilent OLED Pmod. Find out how we got on.
