Mechatronics Prototyping for Dry Diggings

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 Dry Diggings, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully collaborated with clients across industries to refine concepts, validate feasibility, and accelerate product development cycles.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop an iterative prototyping plan. This ensures that we can rapidly iterate and refine your design, addressing any challenges along the way.

We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with advanced tools and technologies to support rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. Our engineers have extensive experience in various technical areas, including requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration.

We understand the importance of seamless collaboration and effective communication during the prototyping process. Our team is adept at working remotely and providing regular updates and progress reports to clients across regional and metropolitan areas. This ensures transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.
