When haptic interactions between a user and a physical object is mediated by haptic devices, or when manipulating a virtual object by means of an haptic device, an essential prerequisite is to preserve the stability of the whole haptic system. Indeed, unstable behaviours of the system can damage the user and the system itself. From a theoretical point of view, stability is the ability of a system to maintain equilibrium under the influence of external factors.
