Mechatronics Prototyping for Narre Warren South

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 Narre Warren South, 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 service involves a collaborative and iterative process that starts with thorough requirements capture and engineering trade-offs. We then move on to design reviews, feasibility assessments, and prototyping, refining the design based on testing and feedback. Our in-house prototyping lab facilitates rapid hardware and software development, ensuring seamless integration and testing.

We understand the importance of seamless collaboration, especially when working across regional and metropolitan clients. Our remote-first approach enables us to effectively collaborate with clients located throughout Australia, facilitating regular design reviews and progress updates.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional results is reflected in our proven track record of successful projects. We have collaborated with clients on over 150 R&D and new product development initiatives, receiving recognition for our innovative solutions.
