Description
The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ is an expansion board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, featuring an integrated Hailo AI accelerator. This add-on offers a cost-effective, efficient, and accessible approach to incorporating high-performance AI capabilities, with applications spanning process control, security, home automation, and robotics.
Available in models offering 13 or 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS), the AI HAT+ is based on the Hailo-8L and Hailo-8 neural network accelerators. This 13 TOPS model efficiently supports neural networks for tasks like object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and more. The 26 TOPS variant accommodates larger networks, enables faster processing, and is optimized for running multiple networks simultaneously.
The AI HAT+ connects via the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe Gen3 interface. When the Raspberry Pi 5 is running a current version of the Raspberry Pi OS, it automatically detects the onboard Hailo accelerator, making the neural processing unit (NPU) available for AI tasks. Additionally, the rpicam-apps camera applications included in Raspberry Pi OS seamlessly support the AI module, automatically using the NPU for compatible post-processing functions.
