Mechatronics Prototyping for Glenthompson

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 Glenthompson and the Grampians region to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported numerous projects across industries, from robotics and automation to medical devices and precision agriculture.

Our Mechatronics Prototyping service involves a collaborative and iterative process that starts with thorough requirements capture and engineering trade-offs. We then refine your concept through proof-of-concept work and design reviews before collaboratively planning for production readiness. Our in-house prototyping lab facilitates rapid testing and iteration, ensuring your product meets expectations.

We understand the unique challenges of remote collaboration and the need for periodic design reviews in regional areas. Our Australia-wide support network ensures seamless communication and collaboration throughout the process, regardless of your location.

Whether you need assistance with technical feasibility assessments, production-readiness planning, or comprehensive project management, our Mechatronics Prototyping service is tailored to meet your specific needs. We are committed to delivering innovative and reliable solutions that empower your business to thrive in the competitive landscape.
