This paper introduces a historical change of haptics research based on personal experience. Since 1990s, haptics, as multidisciplinary research area, has been investigated by various research groups in many aspects including human perception, virtual reality, software design as well as hard ware design. In aspect of haptics hardware design, one of major issues is miniaturization and flexibility in accordance with development of electronic device technology adopting touchscreens. This paper describes changes and challenges in development of actuators, sensors and integrated systems for new haptic interfaces applicable to future touchscreen devices.
