About
Yuri S. Sarkisov is a leading researcher in aerial robotics, specializing in the design and control of aerial manipulators—flying robots capable of physically interacting with their environment. His work addresses critical challenges in safe landing, whole-body teleoperation, and disturbance rejection for rotorcrafts. Sarkisov’s most cited paper, "DroneGear" (58 citations), introduces a novel robotic landing gear with embedded optical torque sensors, enabling multicopters to land safely on uneven or moving surfaces—a key advancement for real-world deployment. He further advanced the field with a passivity-based control framework for whole-body teleoperation of redundant robots (25 citations), extending hierarchical control to time-delayed bilateral teleoperation. His work on the cable-suspended aerial manipulator (SAM) demonstrates innovative winch-based actuation to counteract gravitational disturbances (11 citations), while his compliance control framework (10 citations) enhances SAM’s ability to perform delicate tasks. With a focus on practical, robust solutions, Sarkisov’s research bridges the gap between theoretical control and real-world aerial manipulation, making him a pivotal figure in the next generation of autonomous flying robots.
