About

Founded in 1999, Galileo Mobility Instruments (GMI) develops and licenses a unique mobility platform with one of the smallest maneuverability to size ratios. The platform is based on the proprietary Galileo Wheel which enables the instant switching between wheels and tracks allowing the use of wheels when possible for speed, energy efficiency, smooth ride, maneuverability, and tracks when needed for climbing up and down stairs, overcoming obstacles, towing capability and rough terrain.

The technology is applied with the Elbit VIPeR for military and is in development in several other areas. GMI is also engaged in research and development for applications in construction, farm machinery, heavy trucks, stair climbing wheelchairs and personal robots
