Mechatronics Prototyping for Boweya

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 Boweya to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. 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 process starts with a thorough understanding of your needs and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture requirements, refine design decisions, and iterate rapidly through prototypes. Our in-house prototyping lab enables us to rapidly test and refine your ideas, ensuring they meet your expectations.

We understand the importance of seamless integration and testing throughout the process. Our engineers meticulously plan integration strategies, ensuring seamless connection between hardware and software components. Comprehensive testing is then conducted to validate functionality and performance. This iterative approach allows us to refine your design and achieve production readiness.

Whether you require support with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or production-readiness planning, COLETEK is your trusted partner. We leverage our expertise in requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, and integration planning to deliver exceptional results.

Our commitment to collaborative and transparent working practices extends beyond our borders. We seamlessly collaborate with clients across regional and metropolitan areas, offering periodic design reviews and ongoing support throughout the project lifecycle.
