Mechatronics Prototyping for Stradbroke

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 Stradbroke and beyond 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, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and execute them with precision, utilizing advanced tools and technologies for rapid prototyping and iteration.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration and seamless communication during the prototyping process. Our team is equipped with industry-leading collaboration platforms and digital tools to ensure seamless interaction, regardless of your location. We can seamlessly integrate with your team, whether you're based in Stradbroke or across metropolitan areas.

Beyond physical prototyping, we offer comprehensive support throughout the entire product development journey. Our expertise extends to requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and production-readiness assessment. We can also assist with the handover of your project to your manufacturing partners.

COLETEK has a proven track record of delivering successful mechatronics prototyping projects for clients in industries such as robotics, medical devices, and industrial automation. Our commitment to innovation and attention to detail have earned us recognition for product innovation and engineering excellence.
