Arduino Uno Q
An open-source microcontroller development board in the Arduino Uno series, noted for ease of use, extensive community resources, and sufficient I/O pins. It is widely used in entry-level hardware and robotics projects.

Kevin McAleer used an Arduino Uno Q paired with Claude series models to build an intelligent workbench capable of automatically recording, transcribing, taking screenshots, identifying components, and generating draft illustrated tutorials.
The MCU side handles low-power, low-level sensing and only signals the Linux host to wake the camera and microphone when activity is detected, which is the foundational design for the system's power and cost savings.
The hardware required to replicate the system includes an Arduino Uno Q, a 1080P USB camera costing around £15, an SCT013 current clamp, a momentary micro switch button, plus a Mac or Raspberry Pi to run the transcription service.
Arduino Uno Q is a full Linux computer powered by a Qualcomm chip with 4GB of RAM (a 2GB version also exists), with an STM32 microcontroller onboard, integrating both an MPU and an MCU — two computers on a single board.
The entire system took only two to three hours to set up, and the API cost for a 90-minute production session was less than 40 cents.
The robotic duck project uses an Arduino Uno Q as the main controller and Feetech servos as the actuators.
A maker shared on Reddit a robotic duck project built with an Arduino Uno Q control board and Feetech servos.
