Abstract
This chapter presents work carried out in projects to develop haptic technologies, including finger/hand manipulation and locomotion. It is well known that the sense of touch is indispensable for understanding the real world. The last decade has seen significant advances in the development of haptic interfaces. Nevertheless, methods for implementing haptic interfaces are still in the trial-and-error stages. Compared with visual and auditory displays, haptic interfaces are not frequently used in everyday life. This paper introduces some of the issues and solutions with regard to haptic interfaces identified in the past 18 years of research conducted by the author.
