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 Menindee with advanced computer vision and AI systems.

We seamlessly blend hardware, software, and AI into cohesive workflows to solve real-world challenges.
Our projects range from camera-based inspection for agricultural fields to AI-assisted monitoring for industrial sites. We understand the unique challenges of deploying vision systems in remote locations and have extensive experience navigating logistical constraints across regional and metropolitan areas.
We collaborate closely with clients from inception through discovery, design decisions, prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness. Our team's extensive experience in robotics, electronics, embedded systems, AI, and product development ensures a holistic and pragmatic approach to every project.
We are committed to delivering practical and impactful solutions tailored to your industry and deployment environment. Whether you require vision systems for surveillance, field work, or agricultural applications, we can help you leverage the power of computer vision and AI to enhance productivity, efficiency, and safety.
With Australia-wide support and a proven track record of over 150 successful projects, COLETEK is your trusted partner in computer vision and AI innovation. Let's discuss how our expertise can empower your business in Menindee to achieve remarkable outcomes.
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.
