SOLD IN 2016!
Our quad bike based (aka All Terrain Vehicle (ATV)) semi-autonomous mobile robot is similar to our Scotty robot. However can provide more heavy duty purposes such as proof of concepts for autonomous personal transport vehicle, autonomous mapping, or getting equipment to required areas without the need for a driver!
The semi-autonomous behaviour is based on using a tightly coupled GPS and IMU for localisation, to allow for GPS waypoint based navigation within a user defined map.
Ad-hoc custom solutions have been used to control the steering (via large maxon motor + gearbox + encoder + pneumatic disc break) and throttle (via RC servo).
The photo shown is from 2011, when Freelance Robotics hired it for the Brisbane Mechanical and Safety Expo.

Quadbike Robot Development for Charnwood – Selected Client Testimonials
This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
Skykraft is a Canberra based company designing and developing spacecraft for the delivery of global space-based services. Luke and the team have been very responsive with quotes and delivery of machined parts for our company. Looking forward to working with COLETEK on our space programmes.
COLETEK have been absolutely fantastic in their support and manufacture of various components for us. Our designs are always bespoke, intricate and low volume and it’s great to have an Australian company like COLETEK as a trusted and quality manufacturer for our spacecraft mechanical components and assemblies – which have been flight proven through successful mission operations. Keep up the great work!
Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
