Our Experience
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.

Your Technology Partner for ACT
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is a unique jurisdiction in Australia, established to house the nation’s capital, Canberra. Surrounded by New South Wales, the ACT was chosen as a compromise between rival cities Sydney and Melbourne and serves as the political heart of the nation. It is the seat of the Australian Government, home to Parliament House, the High Court, and numerous national institutions including the National Gallery, the Australian War Memorial, and the National Museum of Australia.
Canberra, while designed as a government city, is rich in culture, architecture, and natural beauty, with abundant parklands, cycling paths, and the stunning Lake Burley Griffin at its center. The ACT also boasts a thriving education sector, with several leading universities and research institutions contributing to its vibrant intellectual landscape.

Robotics & Mechatronics Prototyping Services for ACT – Amazing Customer Testimonials
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.
Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
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.
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!
