Mechatronics Prototyping for St Helens Plains

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 St Helens Plains 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 requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture detailed project specifications, identify potential engineering trade-offs, and develop a detailed integration plan. This iterative approach ensures that your project progresses efficiently from concept to production readiness.

We leverage our state-of-the-art prototyping lab to bring your ideas to life. Our engineers utilize advanced tools and technologies to rapidly iterate on designs, refine prototypes, and address technical challenges. We prioritize transparency and open communication throughout the process, providing regular updates and design reviews to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Beyond prototyping, COLETEK offers comprehensive support to ensure a seamless product development journey. Our expertise extends to requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and production-readiness planning. We can also facilitate remote collaboration and provide Australia-wide support, regardless of your location.

Whether you need to validate the feasibility of a new product idea or accelerate the development of an existing prototype, COLETEK is your trusted partner in mechatronics prototyping. Contact us today to discuss your project and discover how we can help you bring your innovative ideas to life.
