Mechatronics Prototyping for Cobbannah

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 Cobbannah and beyond to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through meticulous mechatronics prototyping. Our team of experienced engineers thrives on tackling complex challenges across robotics, electronics, embedded systems, AI, and product development.

We understand the importance of collaboration and transparency throughout the process. Our iterative approach involves working closely with you to capture requirements, refine design decisions, and seamlessly progress from proof-of-concept work through prototype refinement, design reviews, technical feasibility assessments, and production-readiness planning.

Whether you require remote collaboration or periodic design reviews across regional or metropolitan clients, our Australia-wide support network is tailored to your needs. We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped for rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement.

Our proven track record includes over 150 successful R&D and new product development projects for clients across industries. We have received recognition for our innovative products and hold expertise in requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration.
