Mechatronics Prototyping for Zumsteins

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 Zumsteins 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 project's requirements and goals. We collaborate closely with you to capture and refine your ideas, considering factors such as functionality, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. Our engineers then develop detailed design plans and utilize advanced prototyping tools to bring your vision to life.

We understand the importance of regular feedback and iteration during the prototyping process. Our team conducts periodic design reviews with you to ensure we are on the right track and make necessary adjustments based on your valuable input. This iterative approach ensures that your final product meets your expectations and exceeds your goals.

COLETEK maintains an in-house prototyping lab equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and tools. Our engineers leverage this facility to rapidly iterate on designs, refine prototypes, and conduct thorough testing before transitioning to production-readiness. We can also assist with logistics across regional and metropolitan areas, ensuring seamless delivery of your prototypes.

Our commitment to collaborative and transparent partnerships has earned us recognition for product innovation. We are confident that our expertise and proven track record in mechatronics prototyping can empower your business to achieve remarkable results. Let's join forces and bring your innovative ideas to life.
