In this chapter a systematic introduction into the area of designing haptic devices begins. The following sections explain the scientific and industrial disciplines participating in the research and development of haptic devices. Afterward terms and their definitions are introduced and illustrated by examples how to characterize haptic systems based on some concrete technical devices.
