Overview
Description
Multiple and reconfigurable connectivity functions to expedite your AI/ML System. Easy-to-use hardware platform for multimodal AI/ML solutions based on the RA6M3 MCU from the RA Family of 32-bit MCUs.
The hardware platform is intended to be used for different kinds of AI/ML single or multimodal use cases, supporting vision and real-time analytics enabled by Reality AI Software. It enables various combinations of different plug-in sensors in combination with the available on-board analog microphones and camera.
The AI Kit will enable you to evaluate and test the available application examples, but also develop your own solutions by using the available ecosystem and AI/ML software.
