Mechatronics Prototyping for Boorhaman East

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 Boorhaman East to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through our comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully collaborated with clients across industries to refine concepts, iterate designs, and achieve production readiness.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your project requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture detailed specifications, identify potential engineering trade-offs, and develop a detailed integration plan. Our in-house prototyping lab facilitates rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement throughout the process.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration and seamless communication for clients across regional and metropolitan areas. Our Australia-wide support network ensures regular updates, periodic design reviews, and ongoing guidance throughout your project.

Our expertise spans various technical areas relevant to mechatronics prototyping, including requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration. We have successfully delivered over 150 R&D and new product development projects, collaborating with clients on proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, and production-readiness planning.

Whether you require assistance with initial concept exploration or want to refine an existing prototype, COLETEK is your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping. Contact us today to discuss your project and discover how our innovative solutions can help you bring your ideas to life.
