Luke's work included various autonomous mobile robot projects, involving computer vision, and even a self-driving car early 2000's.

Lance Cole has also worked at NICTA and has a background of various hardware development, such as working for a contract company to the US millary (EOS), building the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS).
