Join us and invest in RISE today. 🦾

With RISE Robotics, heavy machines have never been more productive, efficient, safe, smooth, economical, eco-friendly, or AI-ready.

Backed by Techstars, MIT’s The Engine, and Fortistar Capital, and designed by alumni from MIT and Rhode Island School of Design, RISE’s proprietary Beltdraulic™ motion control technology is transforming the $600B+ heavy machines industry.

Our vision is to create a world where high-performance machines no longer rely on oil and diesel to amplify human workers. The heavy machinery industry has been left behind in the push for electrification and AI, and without innovations like ours, reaching net-zero and autonomous machines would likely be economically unviable.

RISE isn’t another robotics company — it’s the future of superhero-caliber machines, powering the shift towards a sustainable, zero-emissions, amplified future for us all.

 Existing motion control technology for heavy machines is insanely inefficient, mind-blowingly wasteful, dangerous, and detrimental to both company profits and the environment.​​ 

The vast majority of heavy machinery used in industries like construction, mining, and agriculture relies on oil-based hydraulics, a technology that uses fluid power to control, transform, and transmit mechanical power.

These industries, which account for more than 20% of the global economy—an estimated $21 trillion—are under increasing pressure to meet stricter environmental regulations and increase output while controlling costs.

As the industrial workforce shrinks, automation is imperative in heavy machinery. Yet hydraulic systems that lack the precision, sensing, and native digital control required for real-time decision-making and AI-driven performance.

Electrifying around hydraulics only magnifies the problem. Attempts to electrify without eliminating the inefficiency of hydraulics drive battery size, weight, and system costs through the roof.

Pure electric actuators exist, but they cannot deliver the force, speed, displacement, and utilization that motion control systems demand.

This fundamental mismatch between electric power, hydraulic architecture, and automation requirements is the core barrier holding back the electrification and autonomy of the heavy machinery industry.

RISE’s solution: a fluid-free actuator that combines the speed and efficiency of robotics with the power and durability of heavy machinery. Our innovative technology uses belts and pulleys instead of oil, delivering superior performance at half the operating cost of hydraulics — with zero emissions.

This breakthrough makes fully electric heavy machinery not just a possibility, but a practical and powerful reality.

 Our patented motion control Beltdraulic™ technology guarantees that machine operators benefit from a safer, quieter, mess-free experience with unwavering execution. In addition, our technology is self-monitoring and easy to maintain. 

Whether it’s handling shipping containers at a port, unloading food and beverage delivery trucks, or operating a forklift at a warehouse, RISE’s technology ensures seamless, faster transfer without goods or materials ever being dropped, broken, damaged, or lost, all while minimizing risks to workers.

RISE delivers unmatched motion control with paramount safety and environmental protection.

RISE is leading the charge to automate heavy machines.

The machines that we build are digital, ready for AI and autonomous systems, powering greater precision and amplifying the capabilities and capacity of machine operators.

With natural haptic feedback from motor current sensing and native belt/rod position tracking, our actuators provide real-time load data and seamless integration with AI-driven systems.

No external sensors, no endless trial and error—just precision movement, built-in intelligence, and readiness for the future of machine automation.

We believe RISE is the first company to offer a true high-performance, shock-ready alternative to hydraulics with no pollution, leaking oil and no emissions.

We enable robotics and AI for heavy machinery in a big way, and have established a significant defensible moat based on our IP, know-how, and partnerships.

 RISE holds over 20 worldwide patents granted or pending which protect the core innovations of our Beltdraulic™ technology. In addition, our ability to offer solutions that meet future environmental regulations without compromising performance gives us a major advantage in industries like construction, mining, and agriculture​. 

We've built the world's strongest robotic arm!

 Our robotic arm can lift more than 7,000 lbs (the weight of an F-150 Lightning pickup truck) with our record-breaking Beltdraulic™ cylinder technology - an unparalleled feat which earned us a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™ in 2025! 

We’re honored to contribute to the mission of improving operational readiness and safety for the Air Force Global Strike Command! Our fully electric robotic arm is designed to replace aging technologies with solutions that are not only easier to maintain but also deliver enhanced control and efficiency—an essential step in advancing munitions handling capabilities.

We've been selected to join the U.S. Air Force’s $46B Enterprise Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) program - a strategic gateway into major defense programs. RISE's Beltdraulic™ Systems are in the running to power the military’s most advanced platforms, with strong potential for major future contracts.

We also won a $250,000 Phase I SBIR contract with the U.S. Army in 2025 and a $3M AFWERX (U.S. Air Force) Tactical Funding Increase in early 2026.

 Our technology enables heavy machines to be fully autonomous and capable of being operated remotely. This saves astronomical costs associated with dispatching workers to remote locations, in addition to being safer and more effective. 

 We can also support the development of perpetual unloading machines. When Beltdraulic machines unload objects weighing more than the end effector, the process of unloading recharges the batteries fully & facilitates fully autonomous 24/7 operations. 

RISE’s leadership hails from prestigious academic institutions for engineering and industrial design — MIT and Rhode Island School of Design, as well as some of the largest and most successful robotics and technology companies including Apple, iRobot, Vecna Robotics, Electric Sheep, Raytheon, and Google.

Our team’s deep expertise in technology, manufacturing, engineering, and design has led to recognition in Forbes 30 under 30.

While our immediate addressable market is $750B, the total economic value RISE could unlock by replacing hydraulics is staggering.

Hydraulics directly enable an estimated $2–4 trillion of annual economic activity. Breakthrough improvements like our Beltdaulic technology which enables 3× faster actuation, 3× higher efficiency, and 3× longer durability, as well as eliminates hazardous hydraulic oil, would not only reduce operating costs but significantly increase system throughput and unlock new regulated markets.

RISE generates revenue through product sales, joint development, and long-term licensing deals.

We jointly develop heavy machines powered by our proprietary Beltdraulic™ technology and sell them directly to operators under the RISE brand. In addition, we sell RISE cylinders and license our technology as well as offer customized solutions to leading manufacturers in industries like construction, material handling, and defense.

Our partners benefit from reduced energy costs, compliance with environmental standards, and enhanced machine performance.

Our growth in 2026 is expected to be supported by sales of new commercial products launched in 2025. With strong momentum from government and industry collaborators, combined with a shift in focus from R&D to commercialization, we are at an inflection point for generating consistent, scalable revenue.

In early 2026, we were awarded a $3M contract extension by the Air Force, our biggest ever. This is a testament not only to our continued execution and delivery on past contracts, but also the strong interest from the Pentagon in our high-performance, low-fuel-footprint, and low-maintenance Beltdraulic technology.

RISE’s technology is not just a future concept — we've been enabling superior motion control in lifting devices used by the U.S. military, and we’re ready to scale NOW.

Your investment will allow us to accelerate our growth and get our products to market faster.
