Mechatronics Prototyping for Wycheproof South

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 Wycheproof South, North Western, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative products and technologies to life 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 project goals and technical requirements. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering every aspect from functionality to manufacturability. Our engineers then develop detailed design specifications and undertake iterative prototyping, incorporating feedback and optimizing performance with each iteration.

We understand the importance of seamless collaboration and effective communication during the prototyping process. Our team is adept at working remotely, leveraging advanced digital tools to share progress updates, design files, and collaborate seamlessly with clients across regional and metropolitan areas. This ensures transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.

Beyond prototyping, we offer comprehensive support to transition your innovative ideas into production-ready products. Our expertise encompasses requirements capture, engineering trade-offs, integration planning, testing, and production-readiness planning. We can also assist with periodic design reviews and support across metropolitan and regional clients.

At COLETEK, we are driven by a passion for engineering excellence and delivering tangible results. Our proven track record and satisfied clients across industries demonstrate our capabilities in mechatronics prototyping. Let us partner with you to bring your innovative ideas to life and achieve remarkable outcomes.
