Mechatronics Prototyping for Notting Hill

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 Notting Hill, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative products and technologies to life through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported numerous projects across industries, from robotics and electronics to AI and medical devices.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your requirements and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as feasibility, functionality, and manufacturability. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and prototypes, incorporating iterative testing and refinement to ensure optimal performance.

We understand the importance of seamless collaboration and effective communication during the prototyping process. Our team is equipped to work remotely, facilitating periodic design reviews and updates from clients across regional and metropolitan areas. This ensures transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.

Once your prototype is production-ready, our engineers can assist with planning and executing the transition to manufacturing. We can also provide guidance on integrating your new product or technology into your existing workflows and processes. Our handover process is designed to empower you to take full control of your innovation.
