Mechatronics Prototyping for Mcloughlins Beach

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 Mcloughlins Beach to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through our 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 and refine your vision, considering factors such as functionality, usability, and manufacturability. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and utilize advanced prototyping tools to bring your ideas to life.

We understand the importance of periodic review and iteration during the prototyping process. Our team conducts regular design reviews with you to assess progress, identify potential improvements, and refine the design accordingly. This iterative approach ensures that you receive a final product that meets your expectations.

Beyond prototyping, COLETEK offers comprehensive support throughout the entire product development journey. Our services include technical feasibility assessments, production-readiness planning, and handover assistance to ensure a seamless transition from prototype to market. We also provide remote collaboration tools and Australia-wide support, enabling us to work effectively with clients across regional and metropolitan areas.
