起来 (qǐlái) means 'to get up, to stand up' and is also a common verb complement indicating upward movement, the start of an action, or a preliminary judgment (e.g., 看起来 'looks'). It is more general than 起床 (qǐchuáng), which specifically means 'get out of bed'. Unlike 起 (qǐ), which is often used in compounds or as a standalone verb, 起来 emphasizes the action of rising or the complement function.
