Mechatronics Prototyping for Tostaree

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 Tostaree to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully collaborated with clients across industries to refine concepts, validate feasibility, and accelerate product development cycles.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your project requirements and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture detailed requirements, identify potential engineering trade-offs, and develop a detailed integration plan. This iterative approach ensures that your prototypes meet your expectations and seamlessly transition from design to production.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to rapidly iterate on your ideas, testing prototypes for functionality, performance, and manufacturability. Our engineers have extensive experience in areas such as requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration.

Whether you require support with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or production-readiness planning, COLETEK is your trusted partner. We understand the unique challenges of working across regional and metropolitan areas and offer flexible collaboration models to accommodate your needs.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional results has earned us recognition from industry leaders. We have received multiple Good Design Awards for product innovation and are proud to have contributed to groundbreaking advancements across various sectors.
