Mechatronics Prototyping for Lake Mundi

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 Lake Mundi to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through 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 and refine your vision, considering every technical aspect from requirements capture to engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and production-readiness. We leverage our in-house prototyping lab to iterate rapidly, refining your design based on feedback until it meets your expectations.

Remote collaboration is integral to our approach, enabling seamless interaction and progress regardless of physical location. We support clients across regional and metropolitan areas in Australia, providing periodic design reviews and comprehensive support throughout the entire process.

Our expertise spans various technical areas, including robotics, electronics, embedded systems, AI, and product development. With over 150 successful projects under our belt, we have the experience and resources to deliver exceptional results. Our founder and principal engineer, Luke Cole, holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics and a Bachelor of Information Technology in Software Development, bringing extensive knowledge and hands-on experience to every project.

Let us join you on your journey to bring your mechatronics innovations to life. Contact COLETEK today to discuss your project and explore how we can help you achieve remarkable outcomes.
