Mechatronics Prototyping for Edgecombe

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 Edgecombe, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported numerous projects across industries, from robotics and automation to medical devices and consumer electronics.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your requirements and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your vision, considering factors such as functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and prototypes, iteratively refining them based on your feedback.

We understand the importance of seamless integration and testing. Our in-house prototyping lab facilitates rapid testing and refinement of your prototypes, ensuring they meet your expectations. We also offer comprehensive production-readiness planning, guiding you through the process of transitioning your prototypes into fully functional products.

Remote collaboration is an integral part of our approach. We utilize advanced digital tools and platforms to share progress updates, collaborate on design decisions, and facilitate seamless communication throughout the project. Our Australia-wide support network allows us to effectively service clients across regional and metropolitan areas.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of an idea, refine your design, or prepare for production, COLETEK is your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping. Contact us today to discuss your project and discover how we can help you achieve remarkable results.
