Mechatronics Prototyping for Mongans Bridge

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 Mongans Bridge, North Eastern, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative mechatronics products and solutions to life. Our experienced engineers have successfully supported numerous projects across industries, from robotics and automation to medical devices and precision engineering.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a deep understanding of your needs and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop a comprehensive engineering roadmap. This iterative approach ensures that your prototypes are aligned with your vision and technical specifications.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to rapidly iterate on your design, refining functionality and addressing technical challenges. Our engineers have access to advanced tools and technologies, enabling them to deliver high-quality prototypes that meet your expectations.

Beyond prototyping, we offer comprehensive support throughout the entire product development journey. We can assist with design reviews, integration planning, testing, and production-readiness assessment. Our team can also facilitate seamless handover to your manufacturing partners, ensuring a smooth transition from development to production.

Whether you require remote collaboration or on-site support, COLETEK is committed to delivering exceptional results. Our Australia-wide network of engineers enables us to effectively serve clients across regional and metropolitan areas.
