Telepresence and teleaction systems enable a human operator to execute complex tasks within an inaccessible, dangerous, and/or scaled environment. In this context, the communication of haptic signals (velocity and force) plays an important role. As the exchange of haptic information over the communication channel closes a global control loop between the human and the remote environment, the haptic communication system needs to be carefully adapted to expected communication latency and network performance. This dissertation presents a broad spectrum of methods for the perceptual communication of haptic signals. Additionally, the impact of communication uncertainties such as communication latency and packet loss is addressed.
