Explore How RISE Robotics Is Modernizing Heavy Machinery with High-Force Electric Actuation

Learn how electrically driven systems are transforming heavy machinery.

JUPITER, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advancements, an educational television series exploring innovations shaping industries and communities, proudly announces the airing of an upcoming segment, scheduled on Saturday, October 10, at 8:00 p.m. ET. Tune in to Bloomberg Television to watch.

In this episode, the show will share how RISE Robotics is developing fluid-free electric actuation technology to modernize heavy machinery. For more than a century, hydraulic systems have played a foundational role in the built environment. By using pressurized fluid to generate force, hydraulics have enabled massive loads to be lifted, construction equipment to operate, and industrial machinery to perform demanding tasks. Today, however, industries are increasingly looking for ways to improve the efficiency, precision, sustainability, and controllability of the machines that power construction, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and more.

This segment will explore the challenges associated with modernizing equipment as advances in digital control and automation create new expectations for machinery performance and precision. Experts from RISE Robotics, will share how its mechanically driven Beltdraulic™ technology could help bridge the gap between digital intelligence and physical machine performance. Audiences will learn how eliminating fluid friction and pressure losses can allow Beltdraulic™ actuators to convert energy more directly into motion; an approach that has the potential to improve efficiency, speed, precision, and control, while reducing energy consumption.

Interviews with industry and technology leaders will provide viewers with insight into the longstanding role of hydraulics, the pressures driving equipment modernization, and the emerging technologies seeking to redefine how industrial machines generate and control force.

"As industries continue to pursue greater efficiency and sustainability, advancements in machine technology play an important role in creating a more resilient industrial future," said Dustin Schwarz, programming director for the Advancements series.
