About Arduino

Arduino grew from an open-source electronics project created in Ivrea in 2005 into a global hardware and software platform for makers, education and professional developers. Its boards, development environment, libraries and cloud services reduce the work required to prototype and operate devices that sense and act in the physical world.

Robotics is now an explicit product lane rather than only a community use case. UNO Q combines Qualcomm application processing with an STM32 real-time controller, while VENTUNO Q adds higher-performance AI compute and deterministic actuation support. Arduino remains a multi-vendor platform within Qualcomm, giving robot developers a familiar route from experiments to embedded control and edge-AI deployment.

Events

  • 2026-07-09 - Demonstration - Forgis demonstrates voice-directed robot control on Arduino UNO Q

    A smartphone sent the operator’s voice command to an AI agent running on the Arduino UNO Q board. The Forgis foundation model identified the target object and destination, calculated the motion plan, and directed the robotic arm to complete pick-and-place. UNO Q used a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor and a USB-connected robot camera to run the Forgis model locally.
