Mechatronics Prototyping for Winton North

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 Winton North 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, establish technical feasibility, and progress towards production readiness.

Our mechatronics prototyping process starts with a thorough understanding of your needs and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop an iterative prototyping plan. This ensures we can rapidly refine your design, address technical challenges, and achieve optimal results.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to bring your ideas to life. Our engineers have access to advanced tools and technologies for rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. This iterative approach allows us to identify and address potential issues early on, ensuring a smoother transition from prototype to production.

Beyond physical prototyping, we also offer comprehensive support for integration planning, testing, and production readiness. Our team can assist with tasks such as selecting appropriate manufacturing partners, establishing quality control measures, and planning for seamless handover of your project.

Whether you require support with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or technical feasibility assessments, COLETEK is your trusted partner. We are committed to delivering exceptional results and helping businesses in Winton North achieve their product development goals.
