Mechatronics Prototyping for Condah

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 Condah and the Grampians region to bring innovative products and solutions to life through our comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. With extensive experience across robotics, electronics, embedded systems, AI, and product development, our team has successfully supported numerous projects from concept validation to production readiness.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your requirements and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering every aspect from functionality to aesthetics. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and prototypes, incorporating iterative testing and refinement throughout the process.

We understand the unique challenges of remote collaboration and the need for periodic design reviews in regional areas. Our team is adept at facilitating seamless communication and collaboration, regardless of physical location. We can seamlessly support clients across metropolitan and regional clients, ensuring efficient progress and alignment with your vision.

Our extensive experience and dedicated facilities enable us to deliver high-quality mechatronics prototypes tailored to your specific needs. We can assist with every step of the process, from requirements capture and engineering trade-offs to integration planning, testing, and production-readiness handover.

Let us be your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping and bring your innovative ideas to life. Contact COLETEK today to schedule a consultation and discuss your project with our experienced team.
