US EditionArduino Ventuno Q Marks Qualcomm's Entry Into Offline AI and Robotics
The Ventuno Q board delivers up to 40 trillion operations per second offline AI performance for robotics and edge systems, supporting vision and precise motor control.
- On March 09, 2026, Qualcomm and Arduino unveiled the Arduino Ventuno Q, pairing Qualcomm's Dragonwing IQ8 processor with an STM32H5 microcontroller for robotics and edge systems.
- Designed for AI that runs entirely offline, the Ventuno Q ships with Arduino App Lab and pre-trained models like LLMs, VLMs, and ASR for local inference in edge applications.
- Featuring an 8-core ARM Cortex CPU, Adreno Arm Cortex A623 GPU and Hexagon Tensor NPU, Ventuno Q includes 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, 64GB eMMC storage, an M.2 NVMe Gen.4 slot, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, USB camera support, and a full robotics stack with deterministic motor control.
- Targeted deployments include smart kiosks and healthcare assistants for on-device AI, while Arduino says the board suits education and research in computer vision, generative AI and prototyping.
- Amid Arduino's recent acquisition, the Ventuno Q positions Qualcomm in offline AI and robotics through its Dragonwing IQ8 partnership and offers a more sophisticated, pricier board than Arduino's usual AIO boards.
