Contact Us
We receive hundreds
of letters, emails, and messages each week. If you’ve
tried to communicate with us in the past and we haven’t
responded, we apologize, but given the volume of correspondence,
it’s simply not possible to answer everyone. However,
in an effort to respond to as many inquiries as possible,
we have prepared a list of the questions people ask
us most frequently. If one of these doesn’t fully
satisfy your curiosity or if you still need to communicate
with us, please use the contact link below.
I
sent an e-mail message to DEKA earlier this year and
never received a response. Should I try again?
When and where can I purchase an iBOT?
Does DEKA accept or review ideas or inventions from sources outside of DEKA?
What if my idea is for a device that is related to the iBOT?
How can I invest
in DEKA; does DEKA have a stock exchange symbol?
Does
DEKA allow visitors to tour your facility?
I looked on the
"Career Opportunities" page, but I didn’t
see a job opening which fits my qualifications. Should
I submit my resume anyway?
How
do I contact Dean Kamen directly?
Does
Dean ever do any public speaking? What if my organization
wants to invite him to speak at an event?
I
am a vendor who has a service or product I think DEKA
would be interested in. Whom should I contact?

I
sent an e-mail message to DEKA earlier this year and
never received a response. Should I try again?
We receive many messages and letters from people throughout the U.S. and the world. Although we try to respond to most, the volume of correspondence is such that it’s just not possible to answer every one. We apologize for this and hope that you will be able to find answers to your questions here. If not, please feel free to contact us via email (contactDEKA@dekaresearch.com) ,phone (603.669.5139), or by sending a letter (DEKA R&D Corp., 340 Commercial St, Manchester, NH 03101) and we’ll do our best to respond.
When and where can I purchase an INDEPENDENCE® iBOT® 4000 Mobility System. The iBOT® Mobility System ?
Please contact Independence Technology, a division of Johnson & Johnson, at their website, www.indetech.com
for questions regarding price and availability.
Does
DEKA accept or review ideas or inventions from sources
outside of DEKA?
We are delighted that so many creative and innovative
people throughout the world are willing to contribute
ideas for improving quality of life. We are further
delighted and quite frankly flattered that so many people
would like to share their ideas with us. However, DEKA
generally does not accept ideas for inventions, nor
do we develop products that are not based on DEKA technologies.
How
can I invest in DEKA; does DEKA have a stock exchange
symbol?
DEKA is a privately held corporation, and is therefore not traded on any stock exchange. We also don’t solicit investors, so there are currently no opportunities for investment in DEKA. However, if you’d like to make an investment in the future of technology, the most effective thing you can do is make a donation to FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) or find a FIRST team to support.
Does
DEKA allow visitors to tour your facility?
Not usually. Please remember that DEKA is a research and development company, and that our projects are confidential, so the stuff on our desks and in our engineering labs is not for public viewing. We have to prepare well in advance for visitors and this would be rather disruptive for the people who work here (and would probably make them pretty grouchy, too).
I
looked on the "Career Opportunities" page,
but I didn’t see a job opening which fits my qualifications.
Should I submit my resume anyway?
We’re always looking for innovative, high quality
people, so you are certainly welcome to apply for work
at DEKA, even if you do not see an exact fit between
your skills and one of our postings. Please include
a cover note with your resume explaining that you are
not responding to a specific posting, and please be
clear about what it is you want to do at DEKA.
How
do I contact Dean Kamen directly?
Unfortunately you cannot contact Dean directly. His
schedule makes it impossible for him to read or respond
personally to all the correspondence he receives. If
you have a question, please send an email to contactDEKA@dekaresearch.com
and we will forward your message either to him or the
appropriate person here at DEKA. Bear in mind that we
can’t make any promises regarding confidentiality
of e-mail messages or letters.
Does
Dean ever do any public speaking? What if my organization
wants to invite him to speak at an event?
While Dean does do some public speaking, his schedule makes it difficult for him to accept even a fraction of the invitations he receives. To inquire about Dean’s availability, please send a letter or email to addresses listed above, with some information about your organization, and someone will contact you for further information if there is a possibility that Dean can accommodate your request.
I
am a vendor who has a service or product I think DEKA
would be interested in. Whom should I contact?
You’re welcome to send us a message at contactDEKA@dekaresearch.com,
but for best results, put a packet of information in
the mail and address it to: DEKA Research & Development
Corp., 340 Commercial Street, Manchester NH 03101. Include
an "Attn:" to "electronics purchasing
person" or some other department name or description,
and we’ll make sure the appropriate person receives
your information.
I
heard DEKA was working on some technology regarding
_______________. Where can I get more information?
Most of the products we’re working on must remain
confidential, while in the development phase. However,
any information we’re able to share with the public
will be on the Products & Technology section of
our website.
