Arduino VENTUNO™ Q Edge AI Single Board Computer - Coming Soon
Arduino VENTUNO™ Q Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) Single Board Computer (SBC) is a high‑performance development platform designed to bring AI directly into real‑world, physical applications such as robotics, vision systems, and intelligent automation. Built around a powerful dual‑brain architecture, it combines a Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ8 AI processor for advanced neural network inference with an STM32H5 microcontroller dedicated to deterministic, real‑time control, enabling perception, decision‑making, and action to coexist on a single board. The Arduino VENTUNO Q supports demanding edge AI workloads with integrated NPU, CPU, and GPU resources while maintaining sub‑millisecond responsiveness for motion control and industrial I/O.
The board offers a unified development experience through Arduino App Lab, allowing developers to work seamlessly with Arduino sketches, Python, Linux applications, and AI models in one environment, whether used as a standalone Linux desktop or connected to a host PC. With support for multiple cameras, high‑speed connectivity, and a rich ecosystem of optimized, ready‑to‑run AI models, VENTUNO Q empowers developers to build fully offline, low‑latency intelligent systems that can see, understand, and interact with the physical world without relying on cloud computing.
