RISE Robotics
RISE Robotics specializes in efficient, sustainable alternatives to traditional hydraulic systems, offering innovative products like the RISE™Cylinder and RISE™BeltDraulic, and collaborates with Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and the US Department of Defense.
RISE Robotics Founders
RISE Robotics was founded in 2011 by graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Rhode Island School of Design. Their combined knowledge and innovative ideas have led to the development of efficient and sustainable alternatives to traditional hydraulic systems.
RISE Robotics Technology
RISE Robotics specializes in transitioning traditional hydraulic systems to more efficient and sustainable solutions. Their technology, including the flagship RISE™Cylinder, is compatible with various power sources such as diesel engines, electric, and hydrogen. The RISE™BeltDraulic system is fluid-free, passively cooled, and offers higher speed capabilities compared to hydraulics. This technology reduces power and fuel consumption by 65-90% and includes features like remote monitoring for predictive maintenance.
RISE Robotics Partners and Collaborations
RISE Robotics fosters dynamic partnerships with Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and the US Department of Defense. Notable collaborations include Anthony Liftgates, for a fluid-free electric alternative to hydraulic cylinders, and Danfoss Power Solutions to test innovations in heavy machinery electrification. The company is also backed by The Engine, a Tough Tech venture capital fund built by MIT, Greentown Labs, and Techstars.
RISE Robotics Contracts and Patents
RISE Robotics has been awarded multiple contracts by the United States Air Force for developing efficient and precise electric munitions handlers. Additionally, the company has been granted a key U.S. Patent for their High Reduction Belt-Driven Linear Actuator technology, reinforcing their role as a leader in sustainable machinery solutions.
RISE Robotics Products
RISE Robotics offers a range of products centered around their RISE™BeltDraulic system, available in the 2 Metric Ton class and the 22 Metric Ton class. These products feature direct drive belt power for secure load holding, minimal sound power, and exceptional control over displacement and speed. The RISE™BeltDraulic system includes a 'pump box' that converts rotary input into linear belt action, providing efficiencies and capabilities similar to traditional hydraulic systems.
