Mechatronics Prototyping for Sailors Falls

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 Sailors Falls, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative products and technologies to life 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 project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as feasibility, functionality, and manufacturability. Our engineers then develop detailed design specifications and create prototypes that meet your expectations.

We understand the importance of iterative development and testing throughout the process. Our in-house prototyping lab facilitates rapid testing, refinement, and integration of your prototype. We also offer periodic design reviews and remote collaboration options to ensure seamless communication and progress tracking.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional results is evident in our proven track record of successful projects. We have collaborated with clients across Australia, delivering innovative solutions that have transformed their businesses.
