About Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi began as a Cambridge initiative to make programmable computers accessible and shipped its first board in 2012. The commercial group now develops Arm-based single-board computers, Compute Modules for embedded products, Pico microcontroller boards, RP2 silicon, cameras, displays and a maintained Linux software stack. It listed in London in 2024 while retaining a mission-linked relationship with the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Robotics teams use the platform at several layers: Linux boards host ROS, perception and user applications; Compute Modules move established designs into production hardware; Pico-class controllers handle lower-level timing and I/O; and the camera ecosystem supports embedded vision. Raspberry Pi is therefore tracked as broadly available compute infrastructure. It enables many robots but does not own the autonomy application or finished machine built around it.

Events
- 2026-07-14 - Capability - DEEPX expands NPU integrations across YOLO, PaddlePaddle and Raspberry Pi
The Ultralytics integration lets developers export YOLO models into DEEPX format and run them through the company’s edge-AI runtime. DEEPX and PaddlePaddle have enabled PP-OCR 5 workloads on the DX-M1 accelerator, extending the stack into industrial OCR and real-time inference. Raspberry Pi 5 provides a development and validation layer before applications move into robots, industrial cameras, edge gateways and smart-factory equipment.
Source - 2026-01-15 - Product Launch - Raspberry Pi launches AI HAT+ 2 for local generative AI
The AI HAT+ 2 uses Hailo's Hailo-10H accelerator and 8 GB of dedicated LPDDR4X memory to deliver up to 40 TOPS INT4 on Raspberry Pi 5. Raspberry Pi positioned the board for local LLM, VLM, vision and voice workloads without cloud connectivity, with launch support for multiple small language models.
