Mechatronics Prototyping for Marlbed

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 Marlbed and the surrounding region to transform innovative ideas into tangible products through our 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. Our engineers then leverage their expertise in requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, and testing to bring your ideas to life.

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 expectations.

Our in-house prototyping lab enables us to rapidly iterate on your designs, testing prototypes for functionality, performance, and manufacturability. We collaborate with you to establish production-readiness criteria and seamlessly transition your prototypes into full-scale production. Our handover process includes comprehensive documentation, training materials, and ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition.

COLETEK has a proven track record of delivering successful mechatronics prototyping projects for clients across industries. Our team has access to advanced technologies, industry-leading expertise, and a deep understanding of the local market. We are committed to providing our clients with exceptional service, innovative solutions, and exceptional results.
