About
O. V. Velichko is a leading researcher in medical robotics and cybernetics, with a primary focus on advancing mechatronic systems for minimally invasive surgery and life-support technologies. Their key research areas include motion control for flexible needles in robotic brachytherapy and the preclinical testing of mechatronic peristaltic blood pumps. In their notable 2016 review on steerable needles, Velichko systematically analyzed control algorithms for curvilinear needle movement within the human body, highlighting advantages over standard needles for prostate cancer brachytherapy—a contribution that has garnered 2 citations and laid groundwork for safer, more precise robotic interventions. Concurrently, Velichko’s work on technical support for preclinical hydrodynamic and functional tests of new peristaltic blood pumps, also from 2016, established essential experimental benches for physiological validation before biological trials, earning 2 citations and underscoring the critical role of rigorous bench testing in medical device development. These contributions demonstrate Velichko’s impact in bridging robotics and clinical practice, offering students and researchers a clear pathway from engineering design to translational medicine.
