In the last decade, the objectives outlined by the needs of personal robotics have led to the rise of new biologically-inspired techniques for arm motion planning. This paper presents a literature review of the most recent research on the generation of human-like arm movements in humanoid and manipulation robotic systems. Search methods and inclusion criteria are described. The studies are analysed taking into consideration the sources of publication, the experimental settings, the type of movements, the technical approach, and the human motor principles that have been used to inspire and assess human-likeness. Results show that there is a strong focus on the generation of single-arm reaching movements and biomimetic-based methods. However, there has been poor attention to manipulation, obstacle-avoidance mechanisms, and dual-arm motion generation. For these reasons, human-like arm motion generation may not fully respect human behavioural and neurological key features and may result restricted to specific tasks of human-robot interaction. Limitations and challenges are discussed to provide meaningful directions for future investigations.

Technological advances and novel applications in areas such as industrial robots (eventually personal robotics), artificial intelligence, big data, 3D printing, the internet of things, biotechnology, blockchain, and others have revived the debate on how the development and implementation of technological innovations may displace labor. These technologies are allowing the innovation of products, services, and business models at unprecedented speed, in the same way they are putting at risk both qualified and unqualified jobs and occupations. Most of the specialized literature dealing with the issue of technology and labor comes from the economics discipline, but it is pertinent to discuss how this translates into the managerial, organizational, and strategic principles framed for the fourth industrial revolution.
