Mechatronics Prototyping for Lovely Banks

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 Lovely Banks, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported numerous projects across industries, from robotics and automation to medical devices and precision engineering.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with in-depth requirements capture and analysis. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their specific needs, challenges, and goals. This collaborative approach ensures that our prototypes precisely address their functional and technical requirements.

We leverage advanced design tools and technologies to rapidly iterate and refine prototypes. Our state-of-the-art prototyping lab facilitates rapid testing, refinement, and production-readiness planning. We also offer periodic design reviews and remote collaboration options to ensure seamless communication and progress updates.

Our team has extensive experience in various technical areas relevant to mechatronics prototyping, including requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration. We are committed to delivering high-quality results that meet and exceed client expectations.

Whether you need assistance with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or production-readiness planning, COLETEK is your trusted partner. Contact us today to discuss your mechatronics prototyping needs and explore how we can help you achieve remarkable results.
