The system shown in Fig. 1 consists of a base N and three bars A, B, C. N, A, B, and C are connected by revolute joints at points R, O, P, S. The bars RO, OP, PS, SR have lengths L1, L2, L3, L4, respectively. The right-handed coordinates fixed in N, A, B and C respectively are {N1, N2, N3}, {A1, A2, A3}, {B1, B2, B3}, {c1, c2, c3}.
