Mechatronics Prototyping for Reedy Dam

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 Reedy Dam 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 ideas, considering every aspect from functionality to aesthetics. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and meticulously execute them, utilizing advanced tools and technologies for precision and efficiency.

We understand the importance of remote collaboration and seamless communication during the prototyping process. Our team works seamlessly across regional and metropolitan areas, leveraging digital tools and secure data management practices to ensure seamless collaboration and timely progress updates. This ensures that you remain fully involved and informed throughout the entire process.

Our commitment to continuous improvement and iterative refinement is evident in our meticulous testing and validation procedures. We utilize advanced testing methodologies and incorporate feedback from periodic design reviews to ensure that your prototypes meet and exceed expectations. This iterative approach allows us to refine your product and optimize its performance before transitioning to production readiness.

COLETEK maintains an in-house prototyping lab equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and resources to support rapid hardware and software development, testing, and refinement. Our team has delivered over 150 successful R&D and new product development projects across industries, demonstrating our expertise in bringing innovative ideas to life.
