• Abstract: Technological progress increasingly envisions the use of robots interacting with people in everyday life. Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is the approach that explores the interaction between a human and a robot, during the completion of an actual physical task. Such interplay is explored both at the cognitive and physical level, by respectively analysing the mutual exchange of information and mechanical power. In HRC works, a cognitive model is typically built, which collects inputs from the environment and from the user, elaborates and translates these into information that can be used by the robot itself. HRC studies progressively employ machine learning algorithms to build the cognitive models and behavioural block that elaborates the acquired external inputs. This is a promising approach still in its early stages and with the potential of significant benefit from the growing field of machine learning. Consequently, this paper proposes a thorough literature review of the use of machine learning techniques in the context of human-robot collaboration. The collection,selection and analysis of the set of 45 key papers, selected from the wide review of the literature on robotics and machine learning, allowed the identification of the current trends in HRC. In particular, a clustering of works based on the type of collaborative tasks, evaluation metrics and cognitive variables modelled is proposed. With these premises, a deep analysis on different families of machine learning algorithms and their properties, along with the sensing modalities used, was carried out. The salient aspects of the analysis are discussed to show trends and suggest possible challenges to tackle in the future research.
