Where AI Takes Action
With VENTUNO Q, AI gets physical
Empowering developers from AI users to AI creators
The accelerated dual-brain architecture for real-world AI
VENTUNO Q brings perception, decision, and action onto a single board – eliminating complexity, latency, and the cost of multi-device setups. It combines a Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ8 and STM32H5 microcontroller, which communicate seamlessly via RPC (Remote Procedure Call) bridge.
The Dragonwing IQ-8275 processor delivers NPU, CPU, and GPU for complex neural network inference.
The STM32H5F5 microcontroller enables sub-millisecond response to guarantee stable, deterministic control for robotics, motion systems, and industrial interfaces.
Develop Arduino sketches, Python scripts, and AI models in one consistent environment. Arduino App Lab seamlessly bridges embedded programming, Linux development, and edge AI, giving you a single environment for your entire application stack.
VENTUNO Q adapts to your workflow, whether you prefer a single-board computer or the familiar PC-based set up.

VENTUNO Q brings together up to 40 dense TOPS of AI compute with a dedicated real-time microcontroller in a unified dual-brain architecture. While competitors focus purely on AI inference, VENTUNO Q delivers both intelligence and deterministic actuation – essential for robotics, industrial control, and any application where AI must interact with the physical world. Arduino App Lab provides an accessible development experience that scales from beginner to professional level, while unmatched ecosystem compatibility (UNO shields, UNO carriers, Raspberry Pi Hats, Modulino nodes) accelerates prototyping.
Both options are fully supported. While Arduino App Lab streamlines AI and robotics development, VENTUNO Q itself is a complete Ubuntu/Debian Linux system. You can use standard IDEs such as VS Code, PyCharm, Eclipse, Vim, Emacs, Python virtual environments and package managers, Docker containers for isolated environments, SSH remote development and headless operation. Any framework or toolchain you prefer! App Lab accelerates development but never restricts your workflow.
VENTUNO Q officially supports Ubuntu for predictable long-term support and extensive package ecosystems, and Debian with full upstream support for embedded-focused development.
The M.2 connector supports NVMe SSDs.
VENTUNO Q supports multiple AI deployment paths: Qualcomm® AI Hub pre-optimized models, Edge Impulse trained models, Arduino App Lab curated model library, 3rd party and custom inference engines.
Absolutely. Use Edge Impulse’s integrated platform to upload your training data; train models using Edge Impulse’s cloud infrastructure; automatically optimize and quantize for VENTUNO Q hardware; deploy directly into Arduino App Lab with one click.
