COLETEK offers custom robotics prototyping and mechatronic system development — combining mechanical engineering, embedded systems, control software, and AI into working real-world robots. From autonomous vehicles to smart tools and robotic assistants, we deliver edge-to-cloud solutions tailored to your goals in Chittaway Bay.
Our CTO, Luke Cole, previously worked for Hemisphere GPS (originally BEELINE), implementing auto-guidance for quadbikes and tractors used globally. He also contributed to early autonomous mobile robotics and self-driving vehicles at CSIRO, NICTA, Seeing Machines, and ANU Robotics Systems Lab.
His early work on custom robotics platforms led to thousands of lines of original control and computer vision code — long before frameworks like ROS or OpenCV were mainstream. His brother, Lance Cole, contributed to high-end military robotic systems including CROWS.
With over 50 combined years of hands-on robotics experience across marine, ground, and aerial platforms — we are uniquely positioned to help develop, test, and iterate real-world robotic solutions.

This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
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.
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.
