Guinness World Record Attempt!

This March, RISE Robotics is officially attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the “World’s Strongest Robotic Arm.” We’ve already pre-qualified by lifting 7,000 lbs—the weight of a Tesla Cybertruck—using our MHU arm prototype, powered by our groundbreaking Beltdraulic technology.

To mark this milestone, we’re inviting select investors and members of the robotics community to witness the official record attempt at our Boston facility. And yes, in true March tradition, attendees can expect to enjoy a few Irish specialties. ☘️

The Last Frontier of Electrification - RISE for Sustainable Manufacturing

We are still buzzing from the Sustainable Manufacturing Expo earlier this month! CEO Hiten Sonpal showcased how Beltdraulic is changing the game for sustainable manufacturing in a fireside chat with Justin Starbird at the event. We might be back in Massachusetts, but Anaheim left an indelible mark on us!

RISE at The Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government’s Hill Day

CEO Hiten Sonpal and COO Tom Phelps had a productive day in Washington, D.C., representing RISE at The Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government’s Hill Day. Alongside our Massachusetts teammates, we engaged in a key panel discussion on the role of commercial technology in government and its impact on U.S. competitiveness. Meetings with members of Congress and their staff reinforced the importance of advancing innovation in this space. RISE continues to be a recognized voice in shaping the future of commercial technology in government.
