Driven by Science. Inspired by Science Fiction. Enabled by Innovation. Supported by Analog Devices.
The US government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) approached DEKA with an ambitious goal: design a prosthetic arm with the functionality of a natural limb. They wanted an alternative that changed the game; a solution that was delicate enough to pick up a grape, yet rugged enough to handle tools such as a hand drill. ADI is proud to deliver the trusted, high-performance technology to help make DEKA’s revolutionary innovation possible.
Helping to Create the Next Generation of Engineers and Innovators
From our very beginnings, Analog Devices has lent time, resources, and steadfast support to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education. Since 2003, we have partnered with FIRST (www.firstinspires.org) in this mission. Analog Devices' sponsorship includes:
- Supporting FIRST robotics teams with grant funding
- Contributing relevant products to the high school (FRC) design kit (see videos below)
- Supporting regional competitions
- Summer internships for FIRST students
Furthermore, a number of our employees volunteer with FIRST as team mentors, competition judges, and as parent volunteers. Learn about how you can get involved as a volunteer at FIRST.
‘FIRST shares ADI's commitment to STEM programs in the communities where we work and live by inspiring the next generation of young people to pursue careers in engineering and math.’
