Mechatronics Prototyping for Bandiana

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 Bandiana to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully collaborated with clients across industries to refine concepts, validate feasibility, and accelerate product development cycles.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. Our engineers then develop detailed design specifications and undertake iterative prototyping, incorporating feedback and optimizing performance with each iteration.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration in today's world. Our team is equipped with advanced digital tools and infrastructure to seamlessly collaborate with clients across regional and metropolitan areas. We also offer periodic design reviews and updates to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the process.

Our comprehensive services extend beyond prototyping. We can assist with production-readiness planning, integration, testing, and handover of your project. Our in-house prototyping lab enables rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement.

Whether you require a proof-of-concept, prototype refinement, design review, or technical feasibility assessment, COLETEK is your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping. Contact us today to discuss your project and discover how we can help you bring your innovative ideas to life.
