Mechatronics Prototyping for Bridge Creek

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 Bridge Creek, Shepparton Central North, Victoria, Australia, to bring innovative mechatronics products to life. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully completed over 150 projects across hardware and software, collaborating seamlessly with clients from diverse industries.

We understand the challenges of transforming innovative ideas into tangible products. Our process starts with in-depth requirements capture and engineering trade-offs, ensuring a clear understanding of your vision. We then collaboratively refine prototypes through iterative design reviews and testing, ensuring optimal performance and functionality.

Our comprehensive support extends beyond prototyping. We can assist with production-readiness planning, ensuring a smooth transition from development to manufacturing. We also offer periodic design reviews and remote collaboration capabilities to maintain close communication and transparency throughout the process.

Whether you need assistance with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or technical feasibility assessments, COLETEK is your trusted partner. Our commitment to innovation and collaborative approach will empower you to achieve remarkable results in the field of mechatronics.

For over 20 years, COLETEK has been supporting businesses across Australia with their mechatronics prototyping needs. Let us leverage our expertise to help you bring your groundbreaking ideas to life. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discuss your project in more detail.
