The Future of Heavy Machinery Is Here – And It’s Electric!*

Heavy machinery powers the world’s biggest industries: construction, mining, logistics, and more. But behind the scenes, these machines rely on analogue hydraulic systems that waste energy, leak oil, and require constant maintenance.

Now, a robotics company founded by MIT and RISD alumni and backed by Techstars and The Engine is rethinking heavy machinery from the ground up.

RISE Robotics is leading the electrification of the $600B heavy machinery industry with their novel Beltdraulic™ technology – an all-electric, zero-emission alternative to hydraulics.

With an elegant belt-and-pulley system that replaces fluid actuation, RISE’s technology is designed to be more efficient, durable, lighter, and AI-ready compared to traditional hydraulics – at a lower operating cost.

Born at MIT, Built for the Real World

RISE Robotics was founded by a team of engineers from MIT and designers from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) who shared a bold vision: to build a superhero-caliber exosuit that is also lightweight and efficient.

They’ve built something just as extraordinary: an industrial-strength fluid-free, high-performance motion control system capable of electrifying heavy machinery.

Traction That Speaks for Itself

Today, RISE is led by former iRobot leader Hiten Sonpal, who helped drive $2B+ in revenue by shipping over 9 million robotic units.

With partnerships with industry leaders like the U.S. Air Force, Anthony Liftgates, Gates Corporation, and Danfoss, RISE is commercializing its technology by developing all-electric liftgates, material handling units, forklifts, and autonomous excavators.
