Raspberry Pi Chief Commercial Officer Mike Buffham Visits Hiwonder

About the visitor. Mike Buffham is Chief Commercial Officer of Raspberry Pi. He leads Raspberry Pi’s commercial activities and global sales strategy.

Hiwonder was pleased to welcome Mike Buffham, Chief Commercial Officer of Raspberry Pi, during his recent visit to our companyon August 28, 2026.

During the visit, Mike Buffham toured Hiwonder’s facilities and learned more about our robotics products and R&D capabilities. The visit also provided an opportunity for both sides to exchange ideas on the development of Raspberry Pi-based robotics, AI education, and embodied AI applications.

As a long-standing developer of educational and AI robotics solutions, Hiwonder has built a broad range of robot platforms powered by Raspberry Pi, covering applications from STEM education and programming to AI vision, ROS robotics, and advanced embodied AI.

Raspberry Pi Chief Commercial Officer Mike Buffham watches Hiwonder’s Raspberry Pi–powered humanoid robot AiNex complete Autonomous Hurdling. We are demonstrating to Mike Buffham how AiNex is used in schools, universities, and student labs. It lets students practice the full embodied-AI loop: perceive the environment, plan a motion, and execute it on a walking robot. Autonomous hurdling is one of those lessons. Students can test vision, balance, and inverse kinematics as AiNex approaches a barrier and crosses it by itself. The same platform also supports line following, stair climbing, tracking, and other projects that take AI education from theory to a robot that moves.

The visit further strengthened mutual understanding between Hiwonder and Raspberry Pi and laid a solid foundation for closer and deeper cooperation in the future.

Hiwonder looks forward to continuing to explore opportunities with Raspberry Pi and contributing to the development of accessible, innovative robotics solutions for education, research, and AI applications worldwide.
