A transformable robotic platform includes a main frame and a tiltable central assembly and two pairs of parallel tracks. A first pair of tracks is fixed to the main frame while a second pair of tracks is pivotable with respect to the main frame. The central assembly incorporates imaging means, designation means and operational means in a synchronized manner, thus simplifying the maneuvering of the robotic platform and the operation of its operational means by a remote operator. Tilting the central assembly as well as the second pair of tracks shifts the center of gravity of the robotic platform rearward decreasing downward gravitational force on the front end of the platform facilitating climbing over obstacles. Tilting the central assembly also provides double-sided operation and about face operation of the robotic platform without the need to perform maneuvers which flip over the entire robotic platform. The pivoting of second pair of tracks enables transformation of the robotic platform into a quasi pyramid position in order to provide a superior position for information gathering and for operation.
