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. It enables various combinations of different plug-in sensors in combination with the available on-board analog microphones and camera.
It is supported by Reality AI Software for real-time analytics, and by the Renesas Ready Partner Network for specific vision-based use cases.
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.
