Even as companies across the world are developing unique Artificial Intelligence to ensure the future is more robotic, Google has been working with UK-based Raspberry Pie to introduce ‘Artificial Intelligence Yourself’ projects - a spin on DIY for AI.
This is the first time Google has created and distributed something for hobbyists. As part of the project, Google is distributing DIY kits bundled in with the monthly edition of Raspberry Pi magazine that allows you to build your own version of Google Home or Amazon’s Alexa.
The kit will also include the necessary speakers, cables, and microphone to create your own voice-command device. You can use the project o build a cardboard device that uses the Google Assistant SDK to answer questions, like “How far away is the Moon?” or “What is 18 percent of 92?”. You can also register natural language voice commands, such as “turn the lights on”, or “robot, turn right and move forwards” to control your creations.
