In this paper, we discuss a mesh type robot composed of multiple truncated cone type actuators. When doing mechanical simulation of this robot, setting of initial parameters is important because it greatly affects the behavior of the robot. Therefore, we explain the Circle Packing Mesh and S-isothermic Surface which are the background of this robot’s theory and describe the advantages of the robot applying it. In addition, we propose an algorithm for calculating the initial parameters by modeling the connection relationship between the actuators.
