We are since 2009 developing in Grenoble arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) mainly devoted to millimetre astronomy. Our instrument, NIKA (New IRAM KID Arrays), has been the very first based on this technology to be open open to the larger astronomical community via competitive proposals. This camera has been recently replaced, at the 30-meteres radiotelescope at Sierra Nevada, by NIKA2, ten times bigger. I will describe the development of such instruments and give some quick examples of the scientific results achieved. Besides astronomical applications, we have studied the interaction of high-energy particles and photons in arrays of KID and applied this
technology to other domains like superfluid hydrodynamics and solid state physics.
