Microsoft manages to cram artificial intelligence on the Raspberry Pi 3 PC board

Microsoft is working to bring artificial intelligence to extremely small devices, but the work requires compression techniques and other technologies so it can run on the tiniest of CPUs. The Raspberry Pi 3 is one of the most popular devices you can buy. For $35, this inexpensive all-in-one computer board can be used to power numerous projects ranging from miniature Linux-based PCs to gaming consoles and more. Now Microsoft reports that it built a device based on the Raspberry Pi 3 that uses artificial intelligence to hunt down pesky rodents. The device was created by the head of Microsoft's Machine Learning and Optimization group, Ofer Dekel.
