Qualcomm on Tuesday said it has acquired Arduino, an Italian not-for-profit firm that makes hardware and software for developing prototypes of robots and other electronic gadgets.

Qualcomm announced Tuesday it will acquire Arduino for undisclosed terms. The chipmaker said the Italy-based company would become an independent subsidiary of Qualcomm.

Qualcomm is fighting a 480 million-pound ($646.8 million) London lawsuit brought on behalf of smartphone owners, which alleges the chipmaker has abused its dominant position to force Apple and Samsung to pay inflated royalties.

Among the longtime stalwarts in the semiconductor industry that lead the way in artificial intelligence (AI), not many have struggled more than Qualcomm (QCOM 0.17%). Qualcomm remains the leading innovator in the smartphone chipset market, and it has incorporated AI features into its latest phones.

Over the past ten years, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) has distributed an impressive $87 billion to its shareholders in the form of cash through dividends and buybacks. Behind the cash machine lies Qualcomm's dual powerhouses — its technology licensing juggernaut that almost every wireless player depends on, and its mobile chipset franchise that remains the standard-bearer for the industry.

Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM, ETR:QCI) has turned to Arm Holdings' newest chip architecture in its latest flagship processors, according to a Reuters exclusive. The move underscores how even bruising lawsuits don't stop business when technology advantages are at stake.

Qualcomm has shifted its flagship chips to the latest generation of Arm Holdings' computing architecture with new features aimed at better AI performance, sources familiar with the matter said, a move that could boost Arm's revenues and help Qualcomm's chips compete against offerings from MediaTek and Apple.
