About

Yury Selyutskiy is a robotics researcher specializing in the mechanics and control of unconventional mobile robots, with a particular focus on aquatic and spherical locomotion systems. His work addresses the challenging dynamics of robots that move through internal actuation rather than external propellers or legs. In his most cited paper, "Serpentine motion of a trimaran robot" (2023, 3 citations), Selyutskiy proposed an innovative aquatic robot that uses an internal flywheel to generate serpentine motion, with a trimaran body design—a central capsule and three rigid floats—ensuring stability and buoyancy. This work contributes to the development of silent, mechanically simple underwater vehicles. In "Prevention of Oscillations of a Spherical Robot in Longitudinal Motion" (2022, 2 citations), he tackled a critical control problem in spherical robots (robot balls), where an internal platform with a wheel and fork mechanism drives the sphere. By analyzing and mitigating longitudinal oscillations, Selyutskiy advanced the reliability of these robots for applications in exploration and surveillance. Though his citation counts are modest, his focused contributions to the mechanics of internally driven robots offer foundational insights for students and researchers interested in bio-inspired and minimalist robotic design.
