Sensing and actuation

Explore imec’s CMOS-based sensing and actuation innovations.

Sensor and actuator devices are multiplying in both consumer and professional domains. That’s in no small part due to the exceptional capability of semiconductor technology to downscale prices and form factors .

Imec aims to extend this path and enable new applications in domains such as life sciences and agrifood. We work on a wide array of sensor-actuator technologies – and their integration into comprehensive solutions.
