Summary
Fan Bai is a robotics-focused engineering leader and Co-Founder & CTO based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building SLAM, navigation, and perception systems for commercial robots. He led a 10-engineer team at Turing AI to migrate their stack from 2D to 3D SLAM, deploy S2 robots across 50+ shopping malls, and replace open-source components with in-house solutions. Comfortable across embedded firmware to high-level motion planning, he previously shipped sensor fusion and IMU work at OTSAW and in embedded internships, and holds an MSc in Robotics from Northwestern. Highly independent and patient when tackling cross-disciplinary problems, he combines technical depth with curiosity about people and cultures—and is an iOS developer and self-professed cat expert on the side.
