    Abstract: A surgical robotic system that includes a robotic arm, glove configured to be worn on a hand of a user and including a force-feedback mechanism, a tracking device, a processor, and memory. The memory includes instructions which when executed by the processor causes the system to determine that the user is performing a hand gesture with the glove to grasp a virtual user input device (UID) based on the tracking device, and in response to the user grasping the virtual UID, apply, via the force-feedback mechanism, a force upon the glove that corresponds to a physical representation of the virtual UID, and engage the robotic arm to be controlled by the virtual UID.
