Arduino launches VENTUNO Q: dual-brain edge AI computer with 40 TOPS for robotics
culurciello · x · 2026-08-25
Arduino announced the VENTUNO Q, an edge AI computer for AI and robotics, now available for pre-order. Key specs:
- Dual-brain architecture: a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-8 processor (NPU+CPU+GPU, 40 dense TOPS, octa-core Kryo up to 2.36GHz) handles AI inference, while an STM32H5F5 MCU (250MHz) provides sub-millisecond deterministic real-time control, bridged via RPC.
- Memory & expansion: 16GB shared LPDDR5; M.2 slot for NVMe (PCIe Gen4).
- OS: Ubuntu, Zephyr (Debian coming soon).
- Dev experience: Arduino App Lab unifies sketches, Python scripts, and AI models in one environment, targeting local LLMs, agentic AI, and computer vision.
