Xiaolei Lang (Jerry)

I am currently a research engineer at Xiaomi Autonomous Driving under the Future Star Program, working on world simulators with a focus on feed-forward 3D/4D reconstruction and video world models.

I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2025 from the College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, advised by Researcher Jiajun Lv, Prof. Xingxing Zuo, and Prof. Yong Liu. My doctoral dissertation consists of RA-L ×2, ICRA ×1, and IJRR ×1 first-authored papers on LiDAR-Visual-Inertial SLAM and 3D Gaussian Splatting, with all code open-sourced (1.5k stars and 160 forks). Beyond this geometry-based 3D vision research track, I have also actively explored video generation and world(-action) models through internships at Amap, Baidu, and GigaAI.

Selected Publications
RoGe RoGe: Novel View Synthesis via End-to-End Implicit Reconstruction and Generation
Xiaolei Lang, Ze Kang, Zehao Huang, Naiyan Wang
arXiv, 2026
[arXiv] [Code] [Page]

We present the first end-to-end unified reconstruction and generation framework for sparse novel view synthesis, where ray-queried implicit geometric features condition video diffusion without an explicit 3D bridge.

VAG VAG: Dual-Stream Video-Action Generation for Embodied Data Synthesis
Xiaolei Lang, Yang Wang, Yukun Zhou, Chaojun Ni, Kerui Li, Jiagang Zhu, Tianze Liu, Jiajun Lv, Xingxing Zuo, Yun Ye, Guan Huang, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu
arXiv, 2026
[arXiv]

We propose a dual-stream video-action generation framework that jointly synthesizes visually coherent videos and executable action trajectories for embodied data synthesis.

Gaussian-LIC2 Gaussian-LIC2: LiDAR-Inertial-Camera Gaussian Splatting SLAM
Xiaolei Lang, Jiajun Lv, Kai Tang, Laijian Li, Jianxin Huang, Lina Liu, Yong Liu, Xingxing Zuo
The International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR), 2026 đŸ”¥
[arXiv] [Code] [Video] [Page]

We present the first photo-realistic LiDAR-Inertial-Camera Gaussian Splatting SLAM that jointly addresses visual quality, geometric accuracy, and real-time performance.

Gaussian-LIC Gaussian-LIC: Real-Time Photo-Realistic SLAM with Gaussian Splatting and LiDAR-Inertial-Camera Fusion
Xiaolei Lang, Laijian Li, Chenming Wu, Chen Zhao, Lina Liu, Yong Liu, Jiajun Lv, Xingxing Zuo
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2025 đŸ”¥
[arXiv] [Code] [Page]

We propose a real-time photo-realistic SLAM method that marries Gaussian Splatting with tightly-coupled LiDAR-Inertial-Camera odometry for robust pose estimation and high-quality online mapping.

CLIC Continuous-Time Fixed-Lag Smoothing for LiDAR-Inertial-Camera SLAM
Jiajun Lv, Xiaolei Lang, Jinhong Xu, Mengmeng Wang, Yong Liu, Xingxing Zuo
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics (T-Mech), 2023
[arXiv] [Code]

We estimate continuous-time trajectories by fixed-lag smoothing within a factor-graph framework to fuse asynchronous LiDAR, IMU, and camera measurements for tightly-coupled multi-modal SLAM.

Coco-LIC Coco-LIC: Continuous-Time Tightly-Coupled LiDAR-Inertial-Camera Odometry using Non-Uniform B-spline
Xiaolei Lang, Chao Chen, Kai Tang, Yukai Ma, Jiajun Lv, Yong Liu, Xingxing Zuo
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L), 2023
[arXiv] [Code] [Video]

We propose an efficient continuous-time LiDAR-Inertial-Camera odometry with non-uniform B-splines that adaptively place control points according to motion dynamics.

Ctrl-VIO Ctrl-VIO: Continuous-Time Visual-Inertial Odometry for Rolling Shutter Cameras
Xiaolei Lang, Jiajun Lv, Jianxin Huang, Yukai Ma, Yong Liu, Xingxing Zuo
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L), 2022
[arXiv] [Code] [Video]

We propose a probabilistic continuous-time VIO for rolling shutter cameras with B-spline control-point marginalization and online line-delay calibration.
