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 Mongarlowe.
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.

COLETEK empowers businesses in Mongarlowe to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive robotics and mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experts possesses deep understanding of the technical complexities involved in bringing complex robotic systems to life.
We collaborate closely with clients from initial requirements capture through design decisions, prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness planning. Our agile approach ensures seamless adaptation to changing project needs and fosters open communication throughout the process.
Whether you require a proof-of-concept to validate your concept or comprehensive prototype refinement, our team can assist. We leverage advanced tools and technologies to expedite the development process without compromising quality. Our expertise spans the entire spectrum of robotics and mechatronics, encompassing requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration.
Remote collaboration is integral to our service offering, enabling seamless interaction and progress regardless of physical location. We support clients across regional and metropolitan areas in Australia, ensuring accessibility and responsiveness to their prototyping needs.
COLETEK maintains an in-house prototyping lab equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to support rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. Our founder-led team, driven by innovation and a passion for robotics, has over two decades of hands-on experience across the field.
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.
