Mechatronics Prototyping for Milloo

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 Australian businesses in Milloo, Bendigo, and beyond to transform their innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully collaborated with clients across diverse 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 and refine your ideas, considering every aspect from functionality to manufacturability. Our engineers then leverage their expertise in requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing to deliver tangible prototypes that meet your expectations.

We understand the unique challenges of remote collaboration and the need for periodic design reviews in regional and metropolitan environments. Our flexible approach and Australia-wide support network enable us to seamlessly navigate these complexities, ensuring seamless communication and progress throughout the process.

With an in-house prototyping lab equipped with advanced tools and technologies, we can rapidly iterate on your design, refining prototypes based on your feedback. Our commitment to transparency and open communication ensures you are always informed of our progress and any potential challenges. Once your project reaches production readiness, we can seamlessly handover the design files and documentation to your team.

Let us join you on your journey to bring your mechatronics innovations to life. Contact COLETEK today to schedule a consultation and discuss how we can help you achieve exceptional results.
