“Precision work down to the nanometer” is how Robbert van der Waal describes the work that Philips MEMS Foundry does. As part of Philips Engineering Solutions (PES), the company mainly makes a lot of components for customers outside of Philips. “Our technology is too good to keep to ourselves,” he says.

A new glove with more than three dozen actuators across all five fingers and the palm, developed by Cornell researchers, aims to reduce swelling for people suffering from edema.
AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an innovative hand exoskeleton that helps persons after stroke re-learn how to grasp. Its accordion-like structure makes it light, robust and easy to integrate into everyday life.
