Heavy Machinery Is Changing
The Industry Shift
Industrial equipment is becoming more electric, automated and software-driven.
Yet many of the systems responsible for creating physical motion still rely on hydraulic architectures developed for an earlier generation of machines.
RISE Robotics is addressing that gap.
Beltdraulic™ combines hydraulic-class force with the efficiency, sensing and control advantages of electric actuation, creating a new option for OEMs building the next generation of heavy machinery.
The Business care
Why Electric Actuation Matters
For OEMs and fleet operators, electrification isn't simply an emissions initiative.
Higher actuation efficiency can reduce energy demand. Fluid-free systems eliminate hydraulic oil from the actuation architecture. Digital sensing provides greater visibility into operating history and component condition.
And as industrial machines become increasingly automated, digitally controlled actuation creates a more natural bridge between software and physical motion.
That's where RISE sees the larger opportunity.
Physical AI
Giving Intelligent Machines the Ability to Move
AI is rapidly moving from digital environments into the physical world.
RISE is developing the high-force motion layer that can help increasingly intelligent machines interact with that world, combining force, sensing, control and electric actuation in a system designed for demanding industrial applications.
