CES 2026 presents the future of tech – and Arduino makes it accessible to all! 

We’re starting the new year with a big event: the Arduino team will be in Las Vegas for CES 2026 (January 6-9), ready to demonstrate a selection of advanced applications based on the new Arduino UNO Q board. Come by Qualcomm’s booth #5001 in the West Hall to check them out, ask questions, and experience in first person how easy development, robotics, and edge computing can be!

One board for robotics, smart homes, and easy parking? Arduino UNO Q!

Perhaps the cutest proof-of-concept at Arduino UNO Q’s launch, our Robot Dog is flying to Las Vegas and ready to meet and greet his fans. It will follow you around, smile and, if you’re lucky, even give you a wink! Its adorable antics are based on the advanced capabilities of Arduino UNO Q, with its unique combination of Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QRB2210 microprocessor and STM32U585 microcontroller, controlled remotely using a web interface that was effortlessly developed via Arduino App Lab.

Those same capabilities that bring our Robot Dog to life can transform everyday environments: check out our Smart Home demo, where Arduino UNO Q and Arduino App Lab help you manage lights automatically. This interactive setup simulates a three-room environment — bedroom, bathroom, and living room — with real devices, full local control via touchscreen, and live energy monitoring.

Smart technology can also remove frictions from daily activities like parking: with Edge Impulse, we’ve developed a multi-stage computer vision Parking Lot demo where Arduino UNO Q enables efficient, AI-powered vehicle monitoring with a hybrid edge-to-cloud approach. A great example of how a robust, efficient, and scalable system can provide rich, real-time insights while keeping resource use at the minimum.

Test object detection with Arduino UNO Q and Arduino App Lab

At the booth, we’ll show you how you can seamlessly use UNO Q as a single-board computer right out of the box. All you have to do is connect it to a monitor, camera, mouse, and keyboard using a single USB-C dongle, and power it up. Arduino UNO Q will run the Linux Debian operating system and leverage its pre-loaded Arduino App Lab to give you instant access to advanced AI functionalities like object detection.
