Mechatronics Prototyping for Ceres

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 Ceres, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. Our team of experienced engineers specializes in rapid prototyping, design refinement, and technical feasibility assessments across a wide range of industries.

Our process starts with in-depth requirements capture and collaborative design discussions. We then leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to bring your vision to life, iteratively refining the design based on your feedback. Our comprehensive testing and integration planning ensure a seamless transition from prototype to production-readiness.

We understand the unique challenges of remote collaboration and regularly work with clients across regional and metropolitan areas. Our Australia-wide support network ensures seamless communication and collaboration throughout the entire process.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of a new product concept, refine an existing prototype, or plan for production-readiness, COLETEK is your trusted partner. Our proven track record of successful mechatronics projects across hardware and software demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional results.
