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.

COLETEK empowers businesses in the Lower Hunter Valley to accelerate innovation through robotics prototyping. Our team of experts will collaborate with you to refine requirements, iterate on concepts, and develop functional prototypes that meet your specific needs. We seamlessly integrate prototyping with firmware, software, mechanics, and manufacturing processes where relevant.

Our comprehensive approach includes early discovery and requirements gathering, where we delve into your vision and operational challenges. We then refine concepts through iterative design sessions and prototyping, testing each iteration meticulously to ensure alignment with your expectations.

We understand the importance of seamlessly transitioning from prototypes to production-ready solutions. Our team can assist with integrating your prototype with existing systems, manufacturing processes, or ongoing engineering support. We also offer comprehensive handover documentation and training to empower your team.

Examples of our robotics prototyping workflows include developing automated assembly systems, collaborative robots for manufacturing tasks, and vision-guided inspection systems. We have collaborated with clients on projects involving complex interfaces, multi-sensor data fusion, and advanced control algorithms.

Remote collaboration and Australia-wide support are integral to our approach. Our team is equipped to work seamlessly with clients across geographical boundaries, leveraging digital tools and secure data management practices.
