-hand controller trajectory to the robot trajectory, limiting therobot's movements in accordance with the geometry of the groove. These two observations demonstratethat the scenario-based project may be beneficial to the students by providing them with the learningopportunity to identify real-world challenges and adopt existing solutions or propose their own toaddress these challenges. 3) Ethical practices in user studies. Ethical practices are crucial for futureengineers and designers of artificial intelligence and robotic systems. The students were advised toconduct a user study to validate their system design. Before conducting any study involving humanparticipants, it is essential to secure approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee
