Mechatronics Prototyping for Towong Upper

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 Towong Upper 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 trade-offs, and develop a detailed engineering plan. This includes iterative design reviews, feasibility assessments, and collaborative refinement of your concept.

We maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with advanced tools and technologies to bring your ideas to life. Our engineers have extensive experience in requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and iteration. We seamlessly navigate the entire process, from initial concept validation through production-readiness planning and handover.

Remote collaboration is integral to our approach, enabling us to support clients across regional and metropolitan areas. We prioritize clear communication and regular updates to ensure you stay informed throughout the process.
