born in Cremona (Italy) in 1983. In 2008 he received his Master of Science in Computer Science Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. From June to Decem- ber 2008, he was beneficiary of a research grant in the context of the research field “Control of mechanical systems with low resolution sensors”. In January 2009, he joined the Ph.D. pro- gram in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano. During Spring 2010, he spent a research stay at the Department of Automatic Control (Reglerteknik) at Lund University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Information Technology in 2012 from Politecnico di Milano, with a dissertation entitled “Human-centric behaviour of redundant manipulators under kinematic control”. From January 2012 until February 2014 he has been a temporary research assistant at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingeg-neria (DEIB). From March 2014 to September 2016, he has been a fixed-term assistant professor at DEIB. In September 2014, Andrea Zanchettin has been the recipient of the Young Author Best Paper Award (see more), sponsored by the IEEE RAS Italian Chapter (I-RAS). Since

N2 - Recent technological advances in hardware design of the robotic platforms enabled the implementation of various control modalities for improved interactions with humans and unstructured environments. An important application area for the integration of robots with such advanced interaction capabilities is human–robot collaboration. This aspect represents high socio-economic impacts and maintains the sense of purpose of the involved people, as the robots do not completely replace the humans from the work process. The research community’s recent surge of interest in this area has been devoted to the implementation of various methodologies to achieve intuitive and seamless human–robot-environment interactions by incorporating the collaborative partners’ superior capabilities, e.g. human’s cognitive and robot’s physical power generation capacity. In fact, the main purpose of this paper is to review the state-of-the-art on intermediate human–robot interfaces (bi-directional), robot control modalities, system stability, benchmarking and relevant use cases, and to extend views on the required future developments in the realm of human–robot collaboration.
