Abstract

Haptic systems exhibit several basic structures defined by the mechanical inputs and outputs, commonly known as impedance or admittance system structures. This chapter describes these structures in open-loop and closed-loop variants and presents commercial realizations as well as common applications of these structures. Based on the different properties of the structures and the intended application, hints for the selection of a suitable structure are given.
