Exciting news – we just launched a new product on Kickstarter! It’s called Vizy, and it’s a powerful, easy-to-use use AI vision platform, built around Raspberry Pi.

Vizy can help defend your birdfeeder from squirrels, explore the physics of everyday objects, show you the wonders of space from the comfort of your own couch, and much more!

What makes Vizy special is a combination of custom hardware, a sleek Python-programmable web interface, and a variety of included programs that make it easy to do cool things like identify 20 different bird species, read text, capture the motion of moving objects, remote control telescopes, etc. etc.

We’re on the edge of our seats waiting for the HoverGames Challenge winners to be announced!

Put on by NXP and Hackster.io, the challenge pairs individuals and teams with a custom drone development kit, which (for 100 lucky participants who win a hardware coupon) includes a Pixy2 camera for object recognition. The goal is to figure out novel ways to assist firefighting crews – delivering supplies, scanning fires for hot spots, or something else.

Good luck to the teams and to the judges! We are happy to see our technology being used to build a healthier and more resilient world.

What’s this? Only the fastest line following robot in the world!

Congratulations to Giannos Eleftheriou and the Neapolis U crew for another win, this time at the XII Robotic Arena in Poland – first and second place in the Line Following Turbo category!

Check out the video before for the mind-bogglingly fast final run. Pixy2 onboard! Look for a research paper soon.

Hi folks,

we are proud to say that Pixy is now carried by major online electronics retailer Sparkfun! They even made a sweet video about our little camera system! Check the video out below – or click here for the product page.

We’ve got more good stuff in the works – our engineering team is cranking hard to release some new products in the next 6 – 12 months. Stay tuned!
