Mechatronics Prototyping for Hordern Vale

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 Hordern Vale to transform innovative ideas into reality through meticulous mechatronics prototyping. Our team of experienced engineers thrives on tackling complex challenges across robotics, electronics, embedded systems, AI, and product development.

We understand the importance of collaboration and transparency throughout the process. From initial requirements capture to design decisions, prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness planning, we work closely with you to ensure seamless execution. Our agile approach allows for rapid refinement and adaptation based on your feedback.

Whether you require a proof-of-concept, prototype refinement, design review, or technical feasibility assessment, we can tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Our comprehensive expertise encompasses all aspects of mechatronics development, from requirements capture and engineering trade-offs to integration planning and testing.

We embrace remote collaboration and maintain an Australia-wide support network, enabling us to effectively collaborate with clients across regional and metropolitan areas. Our extensive experience and proven track record in over 150 R&D and new product development projects across hardware and software demonstrate our commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes.

Let us join forces to navigate the complexities of mechatronics prototyping and bring your groundbreaking ideas to life. Contact COLETEK today to schedule a consultation and discuss your project's unique requirements.
