The DEKA Arm, an advanced robotic prosthesis, can carry out multiple, simultaneous, powered movements. The hand has multiple pre-programmed grips allowing the wearer to pick up and manipulate objects. The wearer controls the arm through electromyography that senses electrical activity through the peripheral nervous system or through wireless signals from accelerometers worn on the user's feet. The arm was developed by DEKA Research & Development Corp. for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Revolutionizing Prosthetics program. Transferred from DARPA.
