In April 2023, it was announced that SSS would make a minority investment in Raspberry Pi Ltd. Since then, the companies have been working to develop an edge AI platform for the community of Raspberry Pi developers, based on SSS technology. The AI Camera is powered by SSS's IMX500 intelligent vision sensor, which is capable of on-chip AI image processing and enables Raspberry Pi users around the world to easily and efficiently develop edge AI solutions that process visual data.

"SSS and Raspberry Pi Ltd aim to provide Raspberry Pi users and the development community with a unique development experience," said Eita Yanagisawa, General Manager, System Solutions Division, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation. "I'm very excited to share SSS edge AI sensing technology with the world's largest development community as the first fruits of our strategic partnership. We look forward to further collaboration with Raspberry Pi using our AITRIOS™ edge AI solution development and operations platform. We aim to make the most of AI cameras equipped with our image sensors in our collaborative efforts with Raspberry Pi."

"AI-based image processing is becoming an attractive tool for developers around the world," said Eben Upton, CEO, Raspberry Pi Ltd. "Together with our longstanding image sensor partner Sony Semiconductor Solutions, we have developed the Raspberry Pi AI Camera, incorporating Sony's image sensor expertise. We look forward to seeing what our community members are able to achieve using the power of the Raspberry Pi AI Camera."
