Mechatronics Prototyping for Campbells Bridge

Our CTO (Luke Cole) previously worked for Hemisphere GPS (orginally called BEELINE, and now bought out by AgJunction) as a "Robotics Engineer" implementing auto-guidance solutions for various quadbikes and agriculture tractors that was used by 100's of vehicles around the world.

For 10 years, starting as a teenager in 1998 - Luke Cole has also worked for leading research institutes and companies such as NICTA (now called CSIRO Data61), CSIRO, Seeing Machines and ANU Robotics System Lab (lead by Alex Zelinsky, who received a rare prestigious AO award in 2017 and was Defence Scientist of Australia from 2012 for 6 years). Luke's work included various autonomous mobile robot projects, involving computer vision, and even a self-driving car early 2000's. Back then OpenCV and ROS didn't exist, so we did a "roll-your-own" called VisLib and DROS comprised of 364,578 lines of code.

Lance Cole has also worked at NICTA and has a background of various hardware development, such as working for a contract company to the US millary (EOS), building the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS).

At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Campbells Bridge, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, to innovate and bring groundbreaking products to market through our comprehensive Mechatronics Prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers will collaborate with you to refine your ideas, translate them into tangible prototypes, and iterate rapidly towards production readiness.

Our Mechatronics Prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your requirements and technical challenges. We then work with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. Our engineers will explore various engineering trade-offs and integration planning options to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with advanced tools and technologies to support rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. This allows us to iterate quickly and deliver prototypes that meet your expectations. We can also facilitate remote collaboration, enabling seamless interaction and progress regardless of physical location.

Our extensive experience spans numerous industries and technical domains, enabling us to tackle diverse projects. We have successfully supported clients in proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, technical feasibility assessments, and production-readiness planning. Our commitment to delivering exceptional results has earned us recognition through Good Design Awards for product innovation.

Whether you need to validate an idea, refine your design, or accelerate your product development journey, COLETEK is your trusted partner in Mechatronics Prototyping. Contact us today to discuss your project and explore how we can help you achieve remarkable outcomes.
