Mechatronics Prototyping for Clifton Creek

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 Clifton Creek, Lakes Wilderness, Victoria, Australia, to transform innovative ideas into reality 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 project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering every aspect from functionality to manufacturability. Our engineers then develop detailed design specifications and meticulously execute them using advanced prototyping tools and technologies.

We understand the importance of regular feedback and iteration during the prototyping process. Our team conducts periodic design reviews with you to ensure we are on the right track and make necessary adjustments based on your valuable input. This iterative approach ensures that you receive a high-quality prototype that meets your expectations.

Beyond prototyping, we can also assist with production-readiness planning, ensuring a smooth transition from development to manufacturing. Our in-house lab facilities enable us to conduct thorough testing and refinement of your prototype before deployment. We can also provide guidance on manufacturing options and supply chain management.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of a new product idea or refine an existing design, COLETEK's mechatronics prototyping services can help you achieve remarkable results. Our Australia-wide support and remote collaboration capabilities make us ideally suited to partner with businesses across Clifton Creek, Lakes Wilderness, Victoria, Australia, and beyond.
