Mechatronics Prototyping for Larpent

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 Larpent 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 project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and prototypes, incorporating advanced technologies such as embedded systems, sensors, actuators, and control software.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration and periodic design reviews in a regional setting. Our team is equipped to work seamlessly with clients across metropolitan and regional areas, utilizing secure digital tools and collaborative platforms. We prioritize clear communication and regular updates to ensure your complete involvement in the process.

Once a prototype is developed, we conduct rigorous testing and iterate based on your feedback. Our in-house prototyping lab enables us to refine designs, address technical challenges, and ensure your product is production-ready. We can also provide guidance on manufacturing options, supply chain management, and product handover processes.

COLETEK has a proven track record of delivering successful mechatronics prototyping projects for clients in various industries. Our team's expertise and commitment to innovation have earned us recognition for product innovation and industry leadership. We are confident that our services can empower your business to bring your mechatronics ideas to life.
