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 North Haven.
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 North Haven and the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales to harness the transformative power of robotics and mechatronics. Our comprehensive prototyping services enable you to iterate, refine, and productize innovative solutions across industries.
Our team of experienced engineers collaborates with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop a tailored plan for prototype development. We seamlessly integrate design reviews and technical feasibility assessments into our process, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey from concept to production readiness.
Leveraging our in-house prototyping lab, we rapidly iterate and refine your ideas, testing functionality and addressing any technical challenges. Our commitment to continuous improvement fosters a culture of open communication and collaboration, allowing us to seamlessly transition from prototypes to fully functional production-ready systems.
We understand the unique challenges of remote work and the need for periodic design reviews and collaborative updates. Our Australia-wide support network ensures seamless interaction and transparency throughout the entire process.
Whether you require assistance with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or production-readiness planning, COLETEK is your trusted partner in robotics and mechatronics prototyping. Let's join forces and build something remarkable together.

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.
