World's strongest non-hydraulic robotic arm can pick up a Ford F-250
Rise Robotics is setting its sights on getting its name in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's strongest non-hydraulic robotic arm – a record that has remained uncontested for nearly a decade after the Fanuc M-2000iA/2300 bench-pressed 5,070 lb (2,300 kg). How? With good…
In the video posted by Rise today, the Superjammer robotic arm hoisted a claimed 6,460 lb (2,930 kg) about 15 ft (4.6 m) in the air before articulating the load forward and backward with ease, showing off its brute strength. The company claims that with the Beltdraulic system, operators – be they human or autonomous – will have finer control over loads and movements with less backlash and slop while completely eliminating hydraulic drift, reducing the dangers – and cost – of blown lines, big messes, and time-consuming repairs. If you happen to be in Union Square in Somerville, Massachusetts on March 20th, 2025, the team over at Rise intend to make its world record attempt at 4 pm local time.
