Summary
Shaojun Cai is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore with 13 years of industry and research experience in robotics, autonomous driving, and human-robot interaction. He has led R&D on vision-based localization and real-time embedded SLAM fusion systems in industry, and developed intention-aware planning and collision-avoidance modules for autonomous vehicles with published results at ICRA. His work spans sensor fusion (camera, LiDAR, IMU, GPS, encoders), map compression for large-scale environments, and deployment optimizations for resource-constrained platforms. Comfortable moving between academic rigor and production constraints, he has written patents and top-conference papers while testing systems in real-world urban settings. Based in Singapore, Shaojun combines deep algorithmic skills with hands-on system integration and a track record of reducing accident rates in large-scale simulation studies. He brings a practical focus on safety and scalability that informs both his research and product engineering.
