Abstract
Haptic displays are devices composed of mechanical parts, working in physical contact with a human body for the purpose of exchanging information. When executing tasks with a haptic interface the user transmits motor commands by physically manipulating the haptic display, which in the opposite direction displays a haptic sensory image to the user via correct stimulation of tactile and kinesthetic sensory systems. This means that haptic displays have two basic functions: (1) to measure positions and interaction forces (and their time derivatives) of the user limb (and/or other parts of the human body) and (2) display interaction forces and positions (and their spatial and temporal distributions) to the user.
