I'm not sure solving Pacman on a Raspberry Pi would be terribly worthwhile. Deepmind's research into getting their software to play Atari games was interesting because they used a general algorithm that just received the values of the screen pixels and game score and learned from there. They used the same software for each game - it wasn't tuned or set up differently and so was a form of general AI if a very sub human one. It was interesting research that it worked as well as it did and played some games very well but wasn't good as Pacman because it lacked the ability to plan ahead.

They are primarily a research company, not a marketing setup. The latest stuff the released on letting the networks do something like dreaming which reduced the time to learn by up to 10x seemed interesting and I look forward to seeing how they do with Starcraft and the hippocampus. A lot of this stuff is cool because it gives insights into the human mind and how the brain works rather than practical gadgets. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/240163-googles-deepmind-...
