Mechatronics Prototyping for Chinkapook

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 Chinkapook to transform innovative ideas into reality through comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported clients across industries in the region, from electronics and robotics to medical devices and industrial automation.

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities of working in a geographically dispersed region like Chinkapook. Our remote collaboration tools and Australia-wide support network enable seamless interaction and efficient progress, regardless of physical location. We prioritize clear communication and regular design reviews to ensure alignment and deliver exceptional results.

Our mechatronics prototyping process is tailored to each client's specific needs and requirements. We begin with in-depth requirements capture and engineering trade-offs to establish a solid foundation for your project. We then move through iterative design, prototyping, testing, and integration stages, ensuring continuous refinement and alignment with your vision.

Our team has extensive experience in various technical areas relevant to mechatronics prototyping, including requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing and iteration. We leverage advanced tools and technologies to deliver high-quality prototypes that meet your production-readiness goals.

COLETEK is committed to delivering exceptional outcomes and fostering strong partnerships with our clients. We are proud to have supported numerous successful product development projects across Chinkapook and beyond, receiving recognition for innovation and excellence in engineering.
