About
Arthur J. Miller is a pioneering researcher in the field of biomechanical engineering, with a primary focus on the mechanical behavior of the human mandible and skull under functional loading. His major contributions center on the development of advanced mastication robot systems that replicate human jaw movements to measure strain distribution on bone surfaces. In his most-cited work (2003, 25 citations), Miller created a computational controlled mastication robot using a human dry skull, systematically analyzing how muscle loading direction and magnitude influence mechanical strain on the mandibular surface. This research provides critical insights into the biomechanics of chewing, with implications for dental implant design, orthognathic surgery, and understanding temporomandibular joint disorders. His follow-up study (2004, 12 citations) further explored mechanical strain patterns across the entire human skull in a humanoid robotic model. Miller’s work is notable for bridging robotics and biomechanics, offering a reproducible, in vitro approach to studying craniofacial mechanics. His findings have influenced the design of more realistic dental prosthetics and surgical planning tools, making him a respected figure in applied biomechanics and biomedical engineering.
