Google is using the Raspberry Pi,,,,,,,,,,,,

Google turns to Raspberry Pi...



And Google is using the Raspberry Pi, no less, to help deliver on projects along with a Voice Hardware HAT for the audio capture.



The search giant is launching “AIY Projects”, which it describes as do-it-yourself artificial intelligence for Makers.
They say it’s to fill the gap for makers who are interested in using artificial intelligence in their projects but don’t know where to begin. Sounds fair enough – could be worthwhile for Gadget Masters.
The company says it will be releasing a series of reference kits, but is starting with voice recognition 

Example ideas it quotes for the Cardboard-like kit, where speech recognition capabilities could play a role, include: replacing physical buttons or digital displays, replacing smartphone apps to control devices and adding voice recognition to assistive robotics (e.g. for accessibility).

he first open source reference project is the Voice Kit: instructions to build a Voice User Interface (VUI) that can use cloud services (like the new Google Assistant SDK or Cloud Speech API) or run completely on-device. This project extends the functionality of the most popular single board computer used for digital making – the Raspberry Pi.
The included Voice Hardware Accessory on Top (HAT) contains hardware for audio capture and playback: easy-to-use connectors for the dual mic daughter board and speaker, GPIO pins to connect low-voltage components like micro-servos and sensors, and an optional barrel connector for dedicated power supply. It was designed and tested with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

New Drones future

     New Drones Exhibit Has It All: Cool Tech, Games and              Science Drones have come a long way since the clumsy, balloon-driven models that first took to the air during the 19th century. Over the past few decades, and particularly in recent years, technology has rapidly improved to make  drones  smaller, faster, more robust and more maneuverable. Meanwhile, enterprising engineers and designers continue to push the limits for how drones can take on myriad tasks for military, industrial, scientific and personal purposes. A new exhibit here at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, "Drones: Is the Sky the Limit?", is the first to explore the ongoing story of drones — their origin and history, how their forms and uses have changed over time, and how we might deploy them in the future
