At COLETEK, we bring decades of hands-on experience delivering real-world artificial intelligence and computer vision systems. Whether you're located for Tharwa or anywhere globally, our AI solutions are designed for embedded, edge, and industrial deployment.
Our CTO, Luke Cole, began engineering AI and robotics as a teenager in 1998. He worked at leading institutes such as CSIRO, NICTA (now Data61), Seeing Machines, and ANU Robotics System Lab, contributing to early self-driving cars, custom AI libraries, and mobile robot autonomy before ROS and OpenCV were even invented.
Luke also worked at Hemisphere GPS (formerly BEELINE, now AgJunction) as a Robotics Engineer, implementing GPS-guided autonomous systems used by hundreds of agricultural vehicles worldwide.
Meanwhile, Lance Cole has worked in advanced military-grade embedded systems, including on the US military's CROWS program at EOS. He brings deep experience in electronics and embedded hardware for AI.
Our team specialises in applied (narrow) AI, particularly in embedded vision, robotics, and real-time decision-making. We’ve built AI systems using:
- Neural Networks (Perceptron, Sigmoid, ReLU, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers)
- Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Reinforcement Learning
- Backpropagation, Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD)
- Image Processing: HAAR, HOG, LBP, PCA, CLAHE, Hough, Template Matching
- Object Detection: YOLOv10, EfficientDet, Faster R-CNN, Mask R-CNN
- Frameworks: TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, Caffe, ONNX
We’ve deployed AI models on cost-effective platforms like the Raspberry Pi, and optimized high-performance systems using NVIDIA Jetson (Nano, Xavier, TX1) and NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. Our team understands both the constraints of edge devices and the throughput of datacenter-grade accelerators.
Applications of our AI & Machine Learning Services for Tharwa services include:
- Smart agriculture & plant recognition (99%+ accuracy on edge)
- Autonomous vehicle vision & embedded localisation
- Industrial automation & object detection
- AI-powered road signs & hazard detection
- Wildlife monitoring & pest targeting with gimbal vision
- Face, voice, and optical character recognition (OCR)
- Natural language interfaces (Open WebUI + open-source LLMs)

AI & Machine Learning Services for Tharwa – Amazing Customer Testimonials
Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
COLETEK have been absolutely fantastic in their support and manufacture of various components for us. Our designs are always bespoke, intricate and low volume and it’s great to have an Australian company like COLETEK as a trusted and quality manufacturer for our spacecraft mechanical components and assemblies – which have been flight proven through successful mission operations. Keep up the great work!
Skykraft is a Canberra based company designing and developing spacecraft for the delivery of global space-based services. Luke and the team have been very responsive with quotes and delivery of machined parts for our company. Looking forward to working with COLETEK on our space programmes.
Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
We've worked with Luke and the team on and off for the past two years. We've found them very accessible and extremely thorough in their dealings. Their documentation is second to none and we’d have no hesitation recommending them on this basis alone.
