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 Spring Flat.
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.

At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Spring Flat to innovate and accelerate their product development through comprehensive robotics and mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers and designers collaborate with clients from diverse industries to translate innovative ideas into tangible prototypes.
Our robotics and mechatronics prototyping process starts with thorough requirements capture and analysis. We work closely with clients to understand their specific needs, challenges, and design aspirations. This collaborative approach allows us to identify potential trade-offs and optimize the design for manufacturability and performance.
We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to bring your vision to life. Our engineers utilize advanced tools and technologies to execute design reviews, refine prototypes, and conduct rigorous testing. We iterate rapidly based on feedback, ensuring that your final product meets all expectations.
Beyond prototyping, we offer comprehensive support throughout the production-readiness journey. Our team can assist with integration planning, ensuring seamless transition from prototype to production. We also provide guidance on testing protocols and refinement strategies to ensure your product is market-ready.
COLETEK maintains an Australia-wide network of clients, collaborating seamlessly with businesses across regional and metropolitan areas. Our remote-first approach eliminates geographical barriers, enabling us to provide personalized support and guidance throughout the entire process.

Over five years, we've partnered with COLETEK to deliver a sensational end-to-end product. Their expertise across hardware and software development has streamlined and expedited our project to market, achieving great success.
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.
