A five degrees-of-freedom (5-DOF) robot manipulator is used for the basic learning of mechanical system engineering. Students learned the forward kinematics as concrete applications of the mathematics, especially linear algebra. After making a manipulator, baton relay contest was done to understand the inverse kinematics by controlling the manipulator using a manual controller having five levers.
