Mechatronics Prototyping for Elingamite North

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 Elingamite North 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 requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture detailed specifications, analyze potential trade-offs, and develop a detailed roadmap for prototype development. This iterative approach allows us to rapidly refine your ideas and achieve production readiness.

We leverage advanced technologies and maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to support rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. Our engineers have extensive experience in various technical areas, including requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration.

We understand the importance of seamless collaboration, especially when working across regional boundaries. Our team is adept at remote collaboration and provides regular updates and design reviews to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the process.

COLETEK has a proven track record of delivering successful mechatronics prototyping projects for clients in diverse industries. Our commitment to innovation and attention to detail have earned us recognition and awards for product innovation.
