Abstract
In this chapter, the process of requirement definition is described, starting with the definition of the intended application together with the customer. In particular, the derivation of technical parameters from the customers’ expectation and useful tools for this step are discussed. Further, the analysis of the intended interaction and the effects on the requirement identification are discussed. To alleviate the identification of requirements, main requirement groups are derived from the intended type of interaction and presented in five technical solution clusters. A review of the relevant standards and guidelines on safety serves as another source of requirements of a haptic system.

Notes
- 1.
As the information includes only one parameter.
- 2.
A tool interaction can be a one-dimensional task, but such an assignment concerning the technical complexity can be regarded as an exception.
- 3.
In the case of a finger movement, it has to be noted that not necessarily all movement directions have to be equipped with haptic feedback to provide an adequate interaction capability. Frequently, it is even sufficient to provide the grasp movement with haptic feedback, solely.
- 4.
Frequently, the customer will not be able to specify these values directly. In this case, creative variants of the question should be asked, e.g., by identifying the moving masses, or by taking measurements with one’s own tools.
- 5.
The haptic interaction with objects in a mathematical abstraction always is an interaction with vector fields. In the vectors, forces of surfaces are coded, which themselves are time dependent, e.g., from movements and/or deformations of the objects themselves.
