The closed form solution for the FPK problem of the manipulator is first determined. It has, then, been shown that there are at most 24 solutions for FPK problem. This result has been verified by using other techniques such as geometric approach and a numerical method known as polynomial continuation. Numerical examples are performed to display all possible solutions available for the devised manipulator.
