Mechatronics Prototyping for Dingley Village

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 Dingley Village, Greater Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula & Geelong to innovate and bring groundbreaking products and solutions to market. Our Mechatronics Prototyping service helps you transform innovative ideas into tangible prototypes, accelerating your journey from concept to production-ready solutions.

Our experienced engineers collaborate with you to capture and refine your requirements, ensuring we understand your vision and technical needs. We then delve into detailed requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, and integration planning to ensure seamless development. Regular design reviews and collaborative iterations ensure your project stays on track and meets your expectations.

We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped for rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. This allows us to iterate quickly and efficiently, bringing your ideas to life with minimal lead time. When your project reaches production readiness, we can seamlessly handover the design files and documentation to your team or assist with manufacturing and deployment if required.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of a new product, refine an existing design, or prepare for production, our Mechatronics Prototyping service is tailored to your specific needs. We collaborate seamlessly with clients across regional and metropolitan areas, offering Australia-wide support from our Melbourne base.
