About

Y. V. Selyutskiy is a leading researcher in the mechanics of controlled motion and the dynamics of robotic systems, with a particular focus on the interaction between mechanical tools and biological tissues. His work is pivotal in advancing minimally invasive medical procedures, especially in neurosurgery. Selyutskiy’s major contributions include the development of sophisticated control algorithms for the precise insertion of flexible needles and indenters into viscoelastic tissues, a critical challenge in stereotactic operations and biopsies. His most cited paper, "Control of Insertion of Indenter into Viscoelastic Tissue using a Piezoelectric Drive" (2020, 5 citations), demonstrates a novel approach to achieving high accuracy in tissue penetration by leveraging piezoelectric actuators to compensate for the complex, time-dependent behavior of soft biological materials. This work directly addresses the need for safer, more reliable robotic assistance in delicate surgical interventions. Through his research, Selyutskiy has laid essential groundwork for the next generation of surgical robots, enhancing the potential for precise local treatment and diagnostics in neurosurgery and beyond.
