Mechatronics Prototyping for Cape Paterson

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 Cape Paterson, Greater Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula & Geelong, Victoria, Australia to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. Our team of experienced engineers thrives on tackling complex challenges and transforming ideas into tangible realities.

Our Mechatronics Prototyping service starts with in-depth understanding of your project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your vision, considering every facet of design, functionality, and manufacturability. This iterative process involves:

• Proof-of-concept work to establish technical feasibility.
• Prototype refinement and optimization for functionality and manufacturability.
• Design reviews and iterations to ensure alignment with your expectations.

We leverage advanced prototyping tools and technologies to expedite the process, ensuring rapid progress and cost-effectiveness. Our comprehensive support extends beyond prototyping, encompassing production-readiness planning, integration, testing, and handover.

Whether you require remote collaboration or on-site support, our Australia-wide network of engineers is dedicated to delivering exceptional results. We have successfully collaborated with clients across regional and metropolitan areas, supporting diverse industries with their mechatronics prototyping needs.
