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 Rock Valley.
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 Rock Valley and the surrounding areas 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 experts collaborates with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop a tailored plan for prototype development. We seamlessly navigate through the entire process, from design reviews and technical feasibility assessments to production-readiness planning and handover.
We understand the unique challenges of remote collaboration and the need for periodic design reviews across regional and metropolitan clients. Our agile approach ensures seamless integration of your project with your broader workflows.
Leveraging our in-house prototyping lab and Luke Cole's 25+ years of expertise in robotics, electronics, and AI, we deliver robust and reliable prototypes that meet your specific needs. We are driven by a commitment to continuous improvement, iterating rapidly based on feedback to refine your solutions.
COLETEK is an Australian-founded product development company established in 2001. Our proven track record and client-centric approach have earned us a reputation as trusted partners in robotics and mechatronics prototyping across industries.
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.
