Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer (SBC) developed by Eben Upton at the University of Cambridge as an educational device for the students to learn programming and electronics through hands-on experience. The Raspberry Pi has been used in numerous applications, including robotics. It can be used to learn how to code and build simple electronic circuits without the need to buy expensive kits. 

Raspberry Pi is designed to support numerous languages and software systems. It can do everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video to making spreadsheets, word-processing and playing games. 

It also allows hardware expansion through its 40-pin header, providing GPIO connections access. The onboard microSD card reader allows users to boot the device or store data in an external medium.  

Raspberry Pi Projects 

Robotics: You can use a Raspberry Pi with any number of sensors and motors to build robots or other electronic devices. Examples include making a voice-controlled robot car or building an Internet-connected weather station. 

Home automation: With the help of an Internet connection, you can use your Raspberry Pi to automate all sorts of tasks around your house — from turning off lights when you leave a room or turning on your sprinklers at night when no one is home to control lights, thermostats and other appliances in your home remotely from anywhere via an app on your phone or computer.   

Retro gaming console: Many people use the Raspberry Pi to create game consoles based on old systems. You can even buy an SD card preloaded with games for your new retro console.
