Mechatronics Prototyping for Karyrie

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 Karyrie to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through our comprehensive mechatronics prototyping services. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully supported clients across industries in the region, from early concept development to 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 a detailed engineering plan. This includes iterative design reviews, prototyping, testing, and refinement to ensure your product meets expectations.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration and seamless communication during the prototyping process. Our team is equipped with advanced digital tools and infrastructure to facilitate effective collaboration across regional and metropolitan clients. We also offer periodic design reviews and updates to ensure transparency and alignment with your vision.

Our in-house prototyping lab enables us to rapidly iterate on your designs, testing functionality and performance. We have successfully delivered over 150 R&D and new product development projects for clients across hardware and software. Our proven track record and client testimonials demonstrate our expertise in mechatronics prototyping.
