Machine learning has come to the 'edge' - small microcontrollers that can run a very miniature version of TensorFlow Lite to do ML computations.  But you don't need super complex hardware to start developing your own TensorFlow models! We've curated a simple kit to dip your toes into machine learning waters. Kit includes: Adafruit PyBadge with SAMD51 Cortex M4F processor @ 120MHz, with display, speaker and buttonsElectret...

Google AIY Projects brings do-it-yourself artificial intelligence to your maker projects. The  Google AIY Vision Kit  lets you build an image recognition device that can see and identify objects, powered by TensorFlow’s machine learning models. The kit includes all of the components needed to assemble the basic kit that works with the Google Assistant SDK as well as on-device image & vision recognition with TensorFlow using...

The M5StickV AI Camera  is a cute, tiny AI camera with capabilities spanning from facial recognition/detection, object detection/classification, shape recognition, detecting targets and sizes in real-time, among other video/audio features. The camera is powered by Kendryte K210, an edge computing system-on-chip with dual-core 64bit RISC-V CPU and state-of-art neural network processor.  This module comes with the...

Need directions to your nearest dry cleaner? Or maybe you need to send a hands-free email? Perhaps you just want to know what the weather's like in Timbuktu. Ask your little friend – the  Google AIY Voice Kit V2!  This updated version 2 AIY is a no-soldering-required kit, and now includes a Raspberry Pi Zero WH computer, and a pre-loaded microSD card - everything you need to create your very own smart home assistant! No...

Ever wanted to dabble in face and/or speech recognition? Espressif's ESP-EYE is a miniature ESP32-based development board that combines a digital microphone, ESP32 (of course) with 8 MB PSRAM and 4 MB flash, and a 2 megapixel camera. There's a few buttons and LEDs as well for basic control and configuration. Unlike some boards, this codebase does not require internet connectivity - you don't have to send video or audio data to...

Say hello to your new little friend – it might just say "hello" back! Have some fun and code your very own AI robot with TJBot, a do-it-yourself template to learn, experiment, and explore AI with IBM Watson. The project consists of open-source step-by-step recipes, or coding instructions, designed for a Raspberry PI to help you connect your TJBot to Watson developer services.   Want to chat with TJBot or teach it to...

Coming soon! Sign up to be notified when we have these in the store! The idea behind the BrainCraft board (stand-alone, and Pi “hat”) is that you’d be able to “craft brains” for Machine Learning on the EDGE, with Microcontrollers & Microcomputers. On ASK AN ENGINEER, our founder & engineer chatted with Pete Warden, the technical lead of the mobile, embedded TensorFlow Group on Google’s Brain...
