Resumen

El reconocimiento de gestos de la mano (HGR, por su sigla en inglés) a partir de señales de electromiografía de superficie (sEMG) se ha consolidado como una línea de investigación de gran interés en los ámbitos biomédico y tecnológico, debido a su potencial aplicación en prótesis, rehabilitación y control de dispositivos inteligentes. El objetivo de esta revisión es analizar los avances recientes y los retos técnicos asociados al HGR, considerando el flujo típico de estos sistemas: adquisición de datos, preprocesamiento, extracción de características y clasificación. Se abordan técnicas tradicionales de machine learning (ML) como máquinas de soporte vectorial (SVM), K-vecinos cercanos (KNN) y random forest, así como enfoques de deep learning (DL), entre estos redes neuronales convolucionales (CNN) y modelos híbridos. Igualmente, se discuten los principales desafíos del área, entre los cuales se destacan la variabilidad intersujeto, la falta de bases de datos etiquetadas y la robustez de los modelos en entornos reales. Esta revisión contribuye a identificar vacíos de investigación y orientaciones futuras para el desarrollo de sistemas de HGR más robustos, accesibles y generalizables.
