Mechatronics Prototyping for Docker

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 Docker, North Eastern, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. 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 service starts with in-depth requirements capture and analysis. We collaborate closely with you to understand your vision, technical challenges, and budget constraints. Our engineers then develop detailed engineering trade-offs and integration plans, ensuring seamless product development from concept to production readiness.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to rapidly iterate on your design, testing prototypes and refining them based on your feedback. Our comprehensive testing and validation processes ensure your product meets all performance and functional requirements. We also provide production-readiness planning and handover support to ensure a smooth transition to manufacturing.

Remote collaboration is integral to our approach, allowing us to seamlessly work with clients across regional and metropolitan areas. We prioritize clear and consistent communication, ensuring you stay updated on every step of the process.
