Raspberry Pi 5 AI Projects for Final Year Students

The Raspberry Pi 5 (faster CPU, PCIe for accelerators, improved camera pipeline) makes real-time edge AI practical for final-year projects. Combined with Coral TPU, Hailo-8, quantised TFLite models or MediaPipe, students can deliver production-style demos: object detection, pose estimation, offline voice, autonomous robots and smart IoT systems.

At ProjectsatBangalore we supply hardware wiring notes, Python source, trained/quantised models, performance numbers (FPS, latency), university-format reports and viva support for VTU, Anna University, JNTU and autonomous colleges.
