Our CTO (Luke Cole) previously worked for Hemisphere GPS (orginally called BEELINE, and now bought out by AgJunction) as a "Robotics Engineer" implementing auto-guidance solutions for various quadbikes and agriculture tractors that was used by 100's of vehicles around the world.
For 10 years, starting as a teenager in 1998 - Luke Cole has also worked for leading research institutes and companies such as NICTA (now called CSIRO Data61), CSIRO, Seeing Machines and ANU Robotics System Lab (lead by Alex Zelinsky, who received a rare prestigious AO award in 2017 and was Defence Scientist of Australia from 2012 for 6 years). Luke's work included various autonomous mobile robot projects, involving computer vision, and even a self-driving car early 2000's. Back then OpenCV and ROS didn't exist, so we did a "roll-your-own" called VisLib and DROS comprised of 364,578 lines of code.
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).
COLETEK's team all has a background in computer vision and machine vision, which have built a wide range of skills and technologies such as:
These technologies can be used for various applications such as:
At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Maimuru with advanced computer vision and AI systems that enhance productivity, optimize workflows, and revolutionize industries. Our team of experts has extensive experience in camera integration, dataset preparation, model selection, edge deployment, and inference pipelines.
We understand the unique challenges faced by businesses in the region, where lighting, environment, and deployment practicality are crucial considerations. Our approach involves collaborative discovery, design decisions, prototyping, iteration, testing, and production-readiness handover to ensure seamless integration into your operations.
From camera-based inspection to AI-assisted monitoring and vision-enabled robotics, our services span a wide range of applications across agriculture, industrial sites, surveillance, and field use. We have successfully delivered over 150 R&D and product development projects across hardware and software, collaborating with clients across Australia.
Our commitment to innovation and collaborative partnerships enables us to deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of Maimuru businesses. We leverage the power of AI to extract valuable insights from visual data, automate tasks, and optimize processes for enhanced efficiency and productivity.
While we are headquartered in Sydney, our reach extends across Australia. We are equipped to provide remote collaboration and support, ensuring seamless communication and progress regardless of location.
This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
Intuitive, innovative & efficient are three words that would appropriately describe the COLETEK service. Luke and the team at COLETEK have taken our concepts to the next level.
COLETEK have provided one to one communication throughout the development process and gone above and beyond in bringing our ideas closer to becoming a reality! Luke's expertise and knowledge with computer software and electronics is Jedi like, but what I liked most about working with him was his willingness and ability to think outside of the box.
