Mechatronics Prototyping for Mooroolbark

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 Mooroolbark and beyond to bring innovative mechatronics products to life. Our team of experienced engineers thrives on tackling complex challenges and transforming ideas into tangible solutions. We understand the unique needs of Australian businesses and have a proven track record of delivering successful mechatronics prototyping projects across industries.

Our comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services encompass every step of the process, from initial requirements capture and design decisions to prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness planning. We collaborate closely with clients, leveraging remote collaboration tools and Australia-wide support to ensure seamless communication and progress throughout the project.

Our seasoned engineers have extensive experience in various technical areas relevant to mechatronics prototyping, including requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration. We leverage advanced tools and technologies to deliver high-quality prototypes that meet your specific needs and expectations.

We recognize the importance of periodic design reviews and collaboration during the prototyping process. Our team proactively engages clients in these sessions to ensure alignment with project goals and to incorporate valuable feedback. This iterative approach ensures that we deliver prototypes that are refined and optimized for success.

COLETEK maintains an in-house prototyping lab equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and resources to support rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. Our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement enables us to deliver reliable and efficient mechatronics prototyping services to clients across Australia.
