Mechatronics Prototyping for Fernihurst

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 Fernihurst 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 and refine your vision, considering factors such as functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. This collaborative approach ensures that your prototypes are aligned with your business objectives and technical needs.

We leverage advanced technologies and tools to expedite the prototyping process, including rapid design iterations, 3D printing, electronics prototyping, and software development. Our in-house prototyping lab facilitates efficient hardware and software testing, refinement, and integration. We also offer periodic design reviews and remote collaboration options to ensure seamless communication and progress tracking.

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 can support you through every stage of the process, from initial discovery and design decisions to production-readiness planning and handover.

COLETEK is committed to delivering exceptional results and fostering strong partnerships with our clients. We have a proven track record of successful mechatronics prototyping projects across industries, and our work has been recognized with prestigious awards. Let us help you bring your innovative ideas to life in Fernihurst and beyond.
