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 Coolamon.
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 Coolamon and the Riverina Murray region 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 will collaborate with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop a tailored plan for your project. We can support you through every step of the process, from initial discovery and design decisions to prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness.
We understand the unique challenges of remote collaboration and regularly work with clients across regional and metropolitan areas. Our flexible approach ensures seamless communication and efficient progress, regardless of physical location.
COLETEK maintains an in-house prototyping lab equipped for rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. Our founder, Luke Cole, brings over 25 years of hands-on experience to the table, having worked across robotics, electronics, embedded systems, AI, and product development.
From proof-of-concept work to production-readiness planning, our robotics and mechatronics prototyping services are designed to empower businesses in Coolamon and beyond to achieve remarkable outcomes. Let's embark on this journey together and bring your innovative ideas to life.
This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
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.
