Mechatronics Prototyping for Tresco

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 Tresco 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 trade-offs, and develop a detailed engineering roadmap. This iterative approach ensures that your project stays on track and delivers exceptional results.

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 also provide periodic design reviews and remote collaboration options to ensure seamless communication and progress tracking.

Beyond prototyping, we offer comprehensive support to ensure a smooth transition from development to production. Our team can assist with integration planning, testing, and production-readiness assessments. We also maintain an open line of communication throughout the process, providing regular updates and proactively addressing any concerns.

COLETEK has a proven track record of delivering successful mechatronics prototyping projects for clients across industries. Our team has collaborated on more than 150 R&D and new product development initiatives, leveraging our expertise to bring innovative solutions to market.
