Mechatronics Prototyping for Swan Marsh

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 Swan Marsh 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 requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture detailed specifications, identify potential trade-offs, and develop a detailed engineering plan. This ensures that your project is on the right track from the outset.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to bring your ideas to life. Our engineers employ advanced tools and technologies to rapidly iterate on designs, refine prototypes, and address technical challenges. We also prioritize transparent communication and regular design reviews to ensure your complete involvement throughout the process.

Beyond prototyping, we offer comprehensive support to guide your product towards production readiness. Our expertise encompasses integration planning, testing, and production-readiness assessment. We can also facilitate seamless handover to your manufacturing team, ensuring a smooth transition from development to market.

Whether you require support with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or technical feasibility assessments, COLETEK is your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping. Our Australia-wide support and remote collaboration capabilities enable us to work seamlessly with clients across regional and metropolitan areas.
