Mechatronics Prototyping for Burkes 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 Burkes Bridge 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 goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture requirements, identify potential trade-offs, and develop an iterative prototyping plan. Our in-house prototyping lab enables rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration and seamless communication during the prototyping process. Our engineers are equipped with advanced digital tools and work alongside clients across regional and metropolitan areas. We prioritize regular design reviews and provide transparent updates to ensure alignment and progress.

Our commitment to innovation has earned us recognition from industry leaders. We have delivered over 150 R&D and new product development projects, leveraging our expertise in areas such as requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of a complex concept or refine an existing design, COLETEK is your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping. Contact us today to discuss your project and explore how we can help you achieve remarkable results.
