Mechatronics Prototyping for Langley

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 Langley, Macedon Ranges, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported over 150 R&D and new product development projects across hardware and software.

We understand the challenges businesses face in transforming innovative ideas into tangible products. Our comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services include requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and iteration. We collaborate closely with clients, leveraging remote collaboration tools and Australia-wide support to deliver exceptional results.

Our in-house prototyping lab enables rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. We take a systematic approach to prototyping, starting with proof-of-concept work and refining prototypes through design reviews and technical feasibility assessments. This iterative process ensures that your product meets your expectations and production readiness.

We are committed to supporting businesses throughout the entire process, from initial discovery and design decisions to handover of the final product. Our team is available for periodic design reviews and offers comprehensive support across regional and metropolitan clients.
