Mechatronics Prototyping for Manifold Heights

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 Manifold Heights, Greater Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula & Geelong to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers and product developers collaborate with clients every step of the way, from initial concept exploration to production-readiness.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your project goals and technical requirements. We then work with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as functionality, usability, and manufacturability. Our engineers conduct detailed design reviews and feasibility assessments to ensure your project is on the right track before proceeding.

We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with advanced tools and technologies to bring your ideas to life quickly and efficiently. Our iterative approach involves regular design reviews, testing, and refinement to ensure your prototype meets your expectations. We can also assist with production-readiness planning, including supply chain management and manufacturing strategy development.

Whether you need to validate a concept, refine your design, or prepare for production, COLETEK's mechatronics prototyping services are tailored to meet your specific needs. We collaborate seamlessly with clients across regional and metropolitan areas, offering remote support and periodic design reviews for added convenience.

Let us be your trusted partner in transforming your innovative ideas into tangible products that can revolutionize your business in Manifold Heights & Surrounds. Contact COLETEK today to discuss your mechatronics prototyping project and request a consultation.
