About
Levi Miller is a biomedical and rehabilitation engineer whose research sits at the intersection of robotics, human biomechanics, and post-stroke motor recovery. His work has made significant contributions to the development and control of upper limb exoskeletons — wearable robotic systems designed to assist and rehabilitate patients recovering from stroke. Miller's most influential study, cited over 130 times, analyzed kinematic data from post-stroke patients undergoing bilateral versus unilateral robotic rehabilitation, providing critical insight into how wearable systems can be optimized to restore arm function. Complementing this, his widely cited investigations into redundancy resolution of the human arm — the challenge of mapping a seven-degree-of-freedom limb to a robotic system — have laid important theoretical groundwork for naturalistic exoskeleton control, accumulating nearly 90 citations. His contributions to admittance control algorithms across joint and task space further advanced the field of intuitive human-machine interfacing, helping push exoskeletons closer to feeling like genuine extensions of the human body. Collectively, Miller's body of work, with over 300 citations, has helped shape modern approaches to robot-assisted neurorehabilitation, offering meaningful improvements in how clinicians and engineers design recovery tools for stroke survivors.
