OpenMV N6 and AE3 Garnered Exceptional Popularity Globally on Kickstarter, OpenMV MP2 to Debut at ST Global Summit

In April 2025, the OpenMV N6 & AE3 garnered significant attention from numerous industry clients, developers, and AI enthusiasts during its global pre-launch on Kickstarter. With its high-performance AI image recognition, low-power design, and ease of development, it became a focal point in the market.

OpenMV N6 – High-Performance AI Image Recognition, Effortlessly Realising Complex Applications

The OpenMV N6 is currently the most powerful machine vision module in the OpenMV series, combining the robust capabilities of a single-board computer with the agility of a microcontroller. It is specifically designed for efficient AI inference and image processing, making it suitable for applications such as robotics, industrial automation, drones, and intelligent surveillance.

Rich functionality and peripheral interfaces

●More Diverse Intelligent ApplicationsOnboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BLE v5.2, supports Ethernet, high-speed USB-HS, equipped with IMU attitude sensor, accelerometer, microphone, and UHS-I μSD card slot.

●Rich interfaces, easier integrationIt provides 18 GPIOs and SWD/JTAG debugging interfaces, allowing connection to any electronic device. Built-in 3.7V lithium battery charge and discharge management facilitates integration into terminal equipment.

●Extremely Low Power ConsumptionPower consumption in deep sleep mode is as low as 1mA, providing up to one year of battery life. Full-power operation consumes only 0.75W (180mA@5V).

OpenMV AE3 – Coin-sized only, ultra-compact and easy to integrate

OpenMV AE3 is the most advanced model we have developed to dateSmallest size, lowest power consumptionThe OpenMV intelligent camera is designed for application scenarios with high demands on space and power consumption. Low-power mobile AI is now available!

Minimal size, high performance

● The dimensions are merely 1 inch by 1 inch (2.54 cm by 2.54 cm), and a protective case is provided.

●Dual-core processor:Alif Ensemble E3, dual-core Cortex-M55 CPU with vector acceleration.

●Dual-core NPURunning the YOLO model at up to 30+ FPS. It also features a built-in GPU for accelerated image scaling.

● Full-power operation consumes only 0.25W (60mA@5V). In deep sleep mode, power consumption is below 2.5mW (500uA@5V), and it can be awakened by sound, motion, date, or time, achieving "grade-level" battery life.

Multimodal Perception, Effortlessly Embedding AI Machine Vision into Any Device

●Integrated Multi-Sensor:1MP High Frame Rate 200FPS Colour Global Shutter Camera Module, IMU Attitude Sensor, Microphone, 8x8 ToF Distance Sensor, Data Can Be Directly Processed by NPU.

●Interface Extension:It can be connected to the external world via USB-HS, WiFi/BLE Bluetooth, or Qwiic. Abundant GPIO pins are available for SPI, I2C, I3C, UART, and PWM control.

Dual-core power, capable of running AI models simultaneously.

● Dual-core collaborative AI model operation: The low-power core can independently process sensor data and run NPU-accelerated AI models, while the main core remains in sleep mode for energy saving, waking up for photography or data transmission when triggered by events.

Both cores utilise dedicated areas of the 13.5MB on-chip SRAM, enabling the simultaneous execution of complex applications.

● The access permissions for peripherals such as GPIO pins and sensors including microphones, accelerometers, and gyroscopes are shared, enabling the distribution of application tasks across multiple cores.
