Andrea Zanchettin was 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 December 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 PhD program 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 PhD in Information Technology in 2012 from Politecnico di Milano, with a dissertation entitled "Human-centric behaviour of redundant manipulators under kinematic control". Since January 2012 he has been a temporary research assistant at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria, working on the project "Safety-oriented motion planning and control of dual-arm redundant robotic manipulators".
His main research interests are about trajectory planning and control of robotic manipulators and mechatronics.
