Summary
Jun Lou is an R&D software and machine learning engineer with nine years of experience focused on autonomous driving, robotics, and perception systems. Currently at Mercedes-Benz, he develops end-to-end models and auto-labeling pipelines for road and lane perception, having previously led vehicle localization, mapping, and large-scale ADAS data collection efforts. His background blends academic research in visual-inertial odometry and pose-graph optimization with practical deployment of perception and data-ingest platforms in production vehicle programs. Comfortable as both engineer and product owner, he bridges research, software engineering, and operational data pipelines to accelerate perception development. Based in Sindelfingen, Germany, he combines mechatronics training from KIT and Zhejiang University with hands-on robotics projects ranging from care-robot grasping to cable-driven platform experiments. Notably, his work emphasizes turning novel localization and mapping research into robust, scalable systems for automotive safety features.
