Arduino VENTUNO Q is a new developer board built for robotics and Edge AI. It combines a powerful AI processor with a neural processing unit (NPU) for on-device inference and a real-time microcontroller for fast, deterministic control, so systems can sense, decide, and act on one board.
In this talk, Eric and Jim highlight how Arduino, Qualcomm, and Canonical deliver a out-of-the-box experience with Ubuntu and Arduino App Lab. You will see how App Lab brings Arduino sketches, Python, and AI development into one workflow, whether you use the board with a monitor and keyboard or connect from your computer over USB-C or the network.
