Mechatronics Prototyping for Cowwarr

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 Cowwarr, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative products and technologies to life through our comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully collaborated with clients across industries to refine product concepts, establish technical feasibility, and achieve production readiness.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your project goals and requirements. We work closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering every aspect from functionality to aesthetics. Our engineers then delve into design reviews and trade-offs, ensuring optimal performance and manufacturability.

We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with advanced tools and technologies to bring your vision to life. Our iterative approach involves regular testing and refinement, allowing us to address any challenges and optimize your design before production readiness. We can also assist with planning and executing the handover process to your manufacturing team.

Whether you require assistance with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or technical feasibility assessments, COLETEK is your trusted partner. Our Australia-wide support and remote collaboration capabilities enable us to work seamlessly with clients across regional and metropolitan areas.
