Welcome to the proceedings of the 6th EuroHaptics 2008 conference held in Madrid, June 10-13, 2008 under the auspices of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. EuroHaptics conferences have been held in Europe, initially annually, now on a biennial basis, since the first one at the University of Birmingham in 2001. The promotion of the European haptics community by the Eurohaptics Society (www. eurohaptics. org) integrates a multidisciplinary group of researchers with a wide range of interests stemming from backgrounds in technical, scientific, educational and artistic disciplines. The regular congregation of individuals around the topic of haptics has led to many fruitful and successful interactions that have developed across the EuroHaptics conferences. Moreover, this community now enjoys links to researchers around the rest of the world through the WorldHaptics conference series, of which EuroHaptics is proud to be a sponsoring partner. Such links offer increased possibilities for collaboration which can only bring us greater successes in our endeavours to understand the nature of haptics. June 2008 Alan Wing President of EuroHaptics Society IEEE Technical Committee on Haptics (TCH) http: //www. worldhaptics. org/ The IEEE Technical Committee on Haptics (TCH) is co-sponsored by the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society and the IEEE Computer Society. The mission of the TCH is to integrate the diverse interests of the highly interdisciplinary haptics community and to improve communication among the different research areas.
