About
Evgeny Tsykunov is a leading researcher in aerial robotics, with a focus on enabling safe and versatile drone operations in unstructured environments. His work centers on the intersection of robotic landing gear design, embedded sensing, and physical interaction for multicopters. Tsykunov’s most notable contribution is the development of DroneGear, a novel robotic landing gear system equipped with embedded optical torque sensors. This innovation directly addresses a critical limitation of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) robots—their reliance on flat, stable surfaces for landing. By allowing multicopters to land safely on uneven terrain and even moving platforms, DroneGear expands the operational envelope for drones in search-and-rescue, inspection, and delivery missions. The paper detailing this work has garnered 58 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. Tsykunov’s research is pivotal for advancing autonomous aerial systems, making them more adaptable and resilient in real-world, unpredictable environments.
