About

Yurii Stasinchuk is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous multi-UAV systems, aerial interception, and cooperative navigation in GNSS-denied environments. His work addresses critical challenges in deploying unmanned aerial vehicles for complex, real-world missions. Stasinchuk’s most impactful contribution is his involvement in the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2020, where he co-authored the highly cited paper “Autonomous capture of agile flying objects using UAVs” (33 citations). This work demonstrated a breakthrough in high-speed, autonomous interception of moving targets, a key capability for security and industrial applications. He further advanced multi-agent coordination in “A Multi-UAV System for Detection and Elimination of Multiple Targets” (15 citations), solving the safe interception of multiple intruder drones by a cooperating team. Most recently, his 2024 paper “Drones Guiding Drones” (4 citations) pioneers a novel paradigm where a well-equipped UAV guides a less-equipped micro aerial vehicle through cluttered, GPS-denied spaces, enabling cost-effective autonomous navigation. Stasinchuk’s research is foundational for scalable, resilient drone swarms, with direct applications in defense, search-and-rescue, and infrastructure inspection.
