Mechatronics Prototyping for Waterholes

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 Waterholes, Lakes Wilderness, Victoria, Australia, to innovate and bring groundbreaking mechatronics products to life. Our team of experienced engineers thrives on tackling complex challenges and transforming innovative ideas into tangible solutions.

Our Mechatronics Prototyping service starts with a thorough understanding of your project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your vision, ensuring we deliver prototypes that meet and exceed expectations. We seamlessly navigate through the entire process, from design reviews and feasibility assessments to production-readiness planning and handover.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to rapidly iterate and refine your designs. Our engineers have extensive experience in requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and production-readiness assessments. We understand the importance of remote collaboration and maintain seamless communication throughout the process.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of a concept, refine an existing design, or prepare for production, COLETEK is your trusted partner. We have successfully collaborated with clients across industries, from robotics and medical devices to precision agriculture and industrial automation.
