Effective communication between humans and collaborative robots is essential for seamless Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). In noisy industrial settings, nonverbal communication, such as gestures, plays a key role in conveying commands and information to robots efficiently. While existing literature has thoroughly examined gesture recognition and robots' responses to these gestures, there is a notable gap in exploring the design of these gestures. The criteria for creating efficient HRC gestures are scattered across numerous studies. This paper surveys the design principles of HRC gestures, as contained in the literature, aiming to consolidate a set of criteria for HRC gesture design. It also examines the methods used for designing and evaluating HRC gestures to highlight research gaps and present directions for future research in this area.
