Abstract
The article justify the use of the gestural modality in human-machine interfaces ergonomically, gives an example of a specific solution to the problem of user’s gestures recognition, and high-lights the features of the choice of gestures that are relevant to gesture control of a cobot.

Key words
Gesture control, collaborative robotics, usability, ergonomics, gesture recognition.
