Short summary
We sometimes meet the problem of linkage synthesis for 4 specified orientations. For example, we need to design an automobile seat based on spherical 4R linkage to move the driver to the ground. According to the traditional Burmester theory, most of the linkage solutions have motion defects, which lead to low computational efficiency. In this paper, a program package was developed under Matlab, which can quickly locate the feasible linkage solution under the guidance of solutions map.
