At COLETEK, we bring decades of hands-on experience delivering
real-world artificial intelligence
and computer vision systems. Whether you're located
for Gippsland 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.
