Xetal's KUMA200 Is an "Extreme Wide-Angle" Multi-Camera Sensor with RISC-V Edge AI Smarts
Designed to combine four cameras on one ultra-compact device, the KUMA200 is driven by a Kendryte K210 RISC-V chip.
Belgian edge AI specialist Xetal has launched an "extreme wide-angle multi-camera AI sensor," powered by a Kendryte K210 dual-core RISC-V processor with neural network coprocessor on board: the KUMA200.
"KUMA200 is a compact multi-sensor smart camera based on the Kendryte K210 dual-core RISC-V processor designed for low power artificial intelligence workloads at the edge," the company explains of its latest product, "such as face detection, object recognition, or audio processing.
"KUMA200 CPU has a dual-core RISC-V 64bit IMAFDC [processor], 8MB SRAM, Neural Network Processor (0.25~0.5 TOPS), Audio Processor, Field Programmable IO Array, DVP camera and MCU LCD interface."
The compact board includes USB connectivity - with Wi-Fi available "on request" as an optional extra - and includes four 24-pin FPC connectors for the camera sensors. Supplied as a kit, the bundle includes the board itself, four two-megapixel Omnivision OV2640 camera modules, and a 2.4" QVGA liquid-crystal display for local image viewing.
What isn't included is the UFO-looking camera mount featured in the company's imagery; instead, Xetal is providing buyers with CAD files from which they can print their own.
The KUMA200 is now available on Xetal's Tindie store, priced at $65.
