Coletek Robotics And Product Development

COLETEK is a rare breed — a hands-on Australian R&D lab with global reach that designs and builds original products, platforms, and prototypes in-house for clients. Founded by Luke Cole in 2001, we've delivered 150+ cutting-edge projects from mission-critical and safety systems to agriculture, autonomous systems, medtech, environmental robotics, consumer products, and more. From edge AI and embedded firmware to autonomous robotics and smart mechatronics, we work across the full stack — combining hardware, software, mechanical, and AI under one roof. We’re not service brokers. We’re builders, engineers, and problem-solvers. Product Development & MVPs 🤖 Robotics & Autonomy (ROS2, SLAM, sensor fusion) Secure Embedded & IoT Systems Mechatronics & Industrial Automation AgTech & Environmental Robotics Real-Time Systems & Control Surveillance & Cybersecurity SaaS Platforms & Internal Tools 🧠 Sovereign AI – No black boxes, full ownership 🧪 In-House Prototyping – CNC, PCB, 3D printing COLETEK.org is our core business (service-based), but we're also bootstrapping our own projects, notably: – COLETEK.IO: Full-stack product/project management – CleanEarthRobotics.com: Environmental robotics – AISmartRider.com: Wearable haptic AI for equestrians – Scotty Robot: Modular robotics testbed – Biogas Horse Toilet: Waste-to-energy tech Why Clients Work With Us: Everything built in-house – no outsourcing Proven MVP process – cost-aware, lean, scalable Sovereign tech & IP control Trusted by pioneers across sectors Local heart, global reach (Gold Coast-based) About the Founder: Luke Cole built his first robot at age 9. By 17, he was working alongside Australia’s top robotics minds. He helped build the world’s first autonomous tractor, created GPS-free indoor tracking systems, and developed AI IoT platforms used in industry, environmental, mission-critical and safety systems. “Robotics is more than engineering — it’s a mirror for life” — Luke Cole
