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 Reid.
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.

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!
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.
