Rizon 4

Overview

An adaptive robotics company founded in Santa Clara in 2016, with offices in San Jose, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Singapore and Munich and factories in Foshan and Zhongshan. Its co-founder and CEO is Shiquan Wang. Its 7-axis force-controlled Rizon arms (2019) and force-controlled Moonlight parallel robot (2023) automate contact-rich work such as polishing, precision insertion and cable assembly. In June 2026 it launched the Enlight arm with whole-body touch sensing and the modular dual-arm MICO, and it also offers the mobile AICO, the Mello massage robot and the Grav gripper. Flexiv became a unicorn in 2022 and on March 18, 2026 took a strategic investment led by global investment firm Invus to scale globally. In Japan, Kurabo has sold Rizon since January 2025. Its founder also co-founded Noematrix.

Strengths

  • Joint torque sensing with high-precision force control
  • Rizon and Moonlight are CE and ETL certified
  • Track record in polishing, insertion and assembly
  • Kurabo's sales network and 3D-vision integration in Japan
