I need to obtain the forward and inverse kinematics of a pantograph device. It is easy when only the one side of the pantograph is considered; So, it becomes a 2DOF planar elbow mechanism, which is easy to solve. However, there is symmetry on pantograph, so I kinda need to combine two planar elbow mechanism, but it confuses me since it's a closed loop mechanism.
This is the depiction of the mechanism;

Q1 and Q3 are controlled with the motors and Q2 and Q4 rotates accordingly.
How am I supposed to approach this mechanism ?
