About

About RISE Robotics RISE Robotics’s mission is to make existing machines better, and to make new machines possible. We develop all-electric Beltdraulic actuators as a fluid-free alternative to hydraulics. Beltdraulic delivers hydraulic-class force with the efficiency, precision, and durability required by modern construction and agricultural machines. RISE Robotics is a Somerville, MA-based startup backed by MIT’s The Engine, Techstars, and Fortistar Capital, pioneering the electrification, teleoperation, and automation of the $600B heavy machinery industry with its patented Beltdraulic™ technology—a fluid-free, zero-emissions, AI-ready linear actuator that delivers hydraulic-like power without the drawbacks. Beltdraulic is 3x faster and 3x more efficient than hydraulics, generating twice the revenue at half the operating cost with zero emissions. Recently awarded the Guinness World Record for the “World’s Strongest Robotic Arm Prototype”.
