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.

Contact COLETEK today to bring your robot to life.

At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Heartlands, Western Australia, to harness the transformative power of robotics through comprehensive prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers works collaboratively with clients to navigate every step of the process, from early discovery of requirements to production-readiness.

Our robotics prototyping process begins with in-depth discussions to understand your business objectives and technical challenges. We then delve into understanding your specific requirements, including desired functionalities, performance metrics, and environmental considerations. This foundation allows us to refine the concept and design decisions, ensuring alignment with your vision.

We leverage advanced prototyping tools and technologies to bring your ideas to life. From rapid iterations of mechanical designs to integration with firmware, software, and manufacturing processes, we adapt our approach to each project's unique needs. Our iterative approach involves thorough testing and validation at every stage, ensuring continuous refinement and optimization.

When your project reaches production readiness, we can seamlessly transition it to your team or continue supporting it with ongoing engineering services. Our comprehensive support includes production monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization recommendations. We also offer remote collaboration tools and Australia-wide support, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration throughout the process.

Examples of our robotics prototyping engagements include: * Developing a collaborative robot for a manufacturing facility in Perth. * Prototyping a medical device for a hospital in Geraldton. * Designing and building an autonomous drone for a mining company in Kalgoorlie.
