Development and User Testing of Gesture-Controlled Robotic Arms: A Secondary Study

Author(s) Rashvin Vij

Abstract This secondary study analyzes the development of gesture-controlled robotic arms and how their usability has been evaluated. We review recent advances in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) that enable users to command robotic arms through hand and arm gestures. Method: A literature-based approach was used, surveying peer-reviewed studies from 2015 to 2025 on gesture recognition techniques and user testing protocols. Key insights: We found that gesture control is implemented via wearable sensors (e.g., flex sensors, electromyography) and vision-based systems (e.g., depth cameras, Leap Motion), often enhanced by artificial intelligence for real-time recognition. Usability evaluations commonly involve task performance metrics and user feedback, revealing trends such as increasing accuracy (often >90%), the integration of machine learning for more natural control, and recognition of user-centered design as critical. Conclusion: Gesture-controlled robotic arms can provide intuitive, human-centric control in domains from industry to assistive technology. However, rigorous user testing with diverse participants in realistic scenarios is needed to ensure these systems are safe, effective, and truly user-friendly. Embracing user-centered design and iterative evaluation will be vital for deploying gesture-controlled robots in real-world applications.
