About
Piotr Vasiljev is a leading figure in the development of advanced piezoelectric actuators and ultrasonic motors, with a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of precision motion control. His research spans the design, simulation, and experimental validation of novel motors for demanding applications in robotics, optical systems, and biomedical devices. Vasiljev’s most impactful work includes the design of a novel rotary ultrasonic motor based on multiple Langevin transducers (21 citations), which addresses critical limitations in working life and energy efficiency for traveling wave motors. He has also made significant contributions to multi-degree-of-freedom systems, such as a 5-DOF cone-shaped piezoelectric positioning robot for optical systems (14 citations) and a 3DOF high-resolution inertial piezoelectric motor (6 citations) for nanotechnology and micro-robotics. His earlier work on optimizing a symmetrical coplanar trimorph piezoelectric actuator (17 citations) laid groundwork for high-performance, compact designs. Vasiljev’s research consistently emphasizes practical improvements in output torque, speed, and cost-effectiveness, as seen in his rotary ultrasonic motor with bending spokes. With a career spanning over a decade, his work is essential reading for engineers and researchers seeking to understand and advance the state of the art in precision piezoelectric motion systems.
