KarlIV Robonaut
Summary
KarlIV Robonaut is revolutionary robotic system which is able to move in space , run on a balancing ball, hold any tool, dig, collect laboratory material on the Moon, work as SEA BOUY and measure side forces like storm, wind, sending DATA about weather to Earth, cooperating with other ROBONAUTS, easy assembling, easy packaging, cheap transportation cost, easy landing....THIS ROBOTIC SYSTEM IS ONLY WAITING when NASA will agree to really REALIZE this PROTOTYPE which would join HUMAN power and COLLONY MOON!Lets really go to MOON!!!
How We Addressed This Challenge
1.Goal of the project.
Our goal is to create for NASA a new type of robot which would be available to challenge every soil difficulties also in space. We want to create a robot for NASA and Space which could be used in daily necessary tasks like digging, building, carrying, transporting, holding, etc. Want to target on use in practice and find a way that this prototype can become a strong part in US NASA Space robots. We want to find use also in Space, Earth, or to look also from a different side of daily use of humans. The first and mandatory task is to have use on the Moon and colonize in a near future Moon. We see a mandatory issue for all humans on this Earth to join power also in private sector specialists to accomplish this task. We needed at some point to solve how to fast colonize another planet to decrease the risk of completely ending Human life on this Earth. We believe that if we do not join power as people, countries, whatever institution, agencies it can be soon over of our time on Earth. We never know if every person dies of Pandemic or an Asteroid will attack us. Earth is in daily danger. Earth would stay only high risk that all humans from Earth will disappear. That's why we see it important to think about a way to separate humans to space colonies. To colonize the Moon as soon as possible and study the planet which is close to us. Moon is only 360.000 km faraway. It's nothing for us to transport with rockets and robots packed in boxes. We can have in the near future on the Moon a lot of material and robots. We believe that it would become a good business for every company on the Earth and World Economies could grow again and stop demolishing our earth by wars whatever. We are of the opinion that corporations like SpaceX would become even 2x, maybe even 3 times bigger and richer. There is a way. There is the opportunity for each of us. In my opinion is that it's possible to reach this goal and target.
At this time 2020 we have so good developed technology and possibilities. Look at Russia. Russia at this time said they have developed a rocket to fly 10.000km per hour. Hypersonic rocket. And More China is saying that they are planting cotton on the Moon.
https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/china-is-growing-cotton-on-the-moon-65321
We do not know if this is real news or not but it's published by Science magazine. If this is true or not we believe there are possibilities in 2020 to build conditions in space. We believe it should be possible today to build an ISS station for Humans on the Moon.
We have contacted NASA people with these thoughts.
We wanted to know NASA's opinion or what's the problem.
As you can see from the video the biggest challenge for NASA is to move in the aggressive and problematical Moon soil.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=052u5qwe7UU
You can see that the SPACE is a difficult environment and basically the robot or a human (astronaut) is moving in the water condition. Can you run in the pool? That's how we need to manage to move a robot. But from the video you can see that that's not only the issue which we have met in SPACE. We need to fight also with soil. The soil is a problem on the Moon surface. Can you imagine that you are going to the lake and there is mud. The mud can be also aggressive and complicated soil. NASA said that the Moon soil is like a crack glass. We believe the reason why it's like this is its crystallized pcs of dust. That's why it can be this soil done. As a robotic team you need to calculate with these facts and the Robotic prototype has to be taken into consideration that our KarlIV Prototype needs to meet difficult environment.
If we collect all facts and the situation which NASA has with their ROBONAUT project. We get information that NASA does not know yet how to move with ROBONAUT on the Moon. That's why all the work to colonize the Moon is stuck and complicated.
What did we develop this project?
We want to try to move real NASA ROBONAUT team forward. We think NASA ROBONAUT is perfect project. We watched videos from NASA and we really think that this project and ROBONAUT has future.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NbUkpmHDDY
WOW Robotic Fundation team from Europe together with Bangladesh BARRAC has tried to join power and think about all the complications which NASA has with the ROBONAUT project at the space. We try to design a Robot which could be able to manage these difficulties in SPACE.
Problems in the SPACE
- dust and stuck between a rock
- problematical soil (cracked) glass
- Speed
- Movement
- Side forces
- Aggressive environment
- Radiation
- Temperature
The Robonaut Karl IV concept should be able to manage every kind of soil Moon or Mars Dust which is similar to cracked glass. We need to calculate with similarity like its dust itself on Earth what we can find also in the Northern part of Earth. We can calculate that the Moon Dust can have similar physicals structure like its dry snow. The Karl IV prototype needs to be able to be coordinated in this difficult soil. The Karl IV ROBONAUT has also the Earth goal that the concept would be designed that it can run on ground and water surface as well.
We thought about the best dimensions and we see that the best dimension to space could be any kind of ball. The ball dimensions have a perfect stability and design which absorb side forces. Look at planet design; they are mostly sphere design. We did market research for robotic balls and we found Mr James Bruton and his robotic prototypes.
How does it work? What does it do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMTq-7Ehm-M&list=PLpwJoq86vov8Tfr2-JUcma3lO0mLid_FX&index=5
We think that this is one of the best projects which Mr James Bruton did and we see that he has solved a lot of problems around this BB8 project. We see that he is able to hold by magnetically force a head which is stabilized when a BB8 runs. James finds a way of development for this kind of robot.
WOW Robotic team sees a huge potential in this prototype and we believe if the robot would be twice bigger and massive that it could hold around 50kg weight.
We believe that if we get funding and support from NASA that we could hold ROBONAUT stabilized on the ball.
Project Page" of WOW Robotic Fundation"
If NASA decide to invest to construction the KarlIV ROBONAUT which would be massive and better constructed we believe that this ROBONAUT could work in two modes ONLINE and OFFLINE.
We see there a lot of possibilities which could measure side forces on the Moon or another planet. NASA could get all DATA about weather, storm, wind, etc. Karl IV ROBONAUT would really be able measure by sensors any movement which would be in kilonewton measured and save and we would recognize and do analyzes between 1000 pcs of KarlIV ROBONAUT.
Basically we would do NETWORK of KarlIV ROBONAUT on the Moon.
There are also possibilities to pick up some laboratory material or stones to hand and bring it to aircraft or to the ISS.
Why is it important?
As you can see we can design short process on the Moon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G9R_IseqjY
This is our video and you can see a movement of KarlIV ROBONAUT. First there is growing ball. We believe that BB10 development is also able to extend the ball if necessary. Then ROBONAUT is moving in X,Y,Z axis and turning in a join around angle 90 degree. Then the KarlIV ROBONAUT thanks to BB-9 is moving to ground to front to be able to pick up some laboratory material or stone from the ground.
You should be able to download COLLADA file here for free:
https://uloz.to/file/lJt5Y2TJFwvZ/robonaut-prototype-for-nasa-moon-project-faze3-dae
By this we are also completing the part of 3D project which you required.
With our experience from KUKA Robotics what we are daily doing for AUTOMOTIVE industry we are able to offer to NASA team all process between for example 1000pcs of Robots and be able to achieve some goal for example to pick some material or to build ISS on the Moon.
Watch out our daily work at KUKA Robotics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUrXHsx3nnk&t=6s
As you can see we are a strong team.
We are able for NASA to programmatic and simulate whole process on the Moon as you can see in our illustration video.
We believe that this KarlIV Robonaut project needs more discussion with NASA and specialists, but we know that this is a real thing and it is possible with help to realize this KarlIV Robonaut which would be really able to run on the Moon and HELP humans to build the first ISS on the Moon.
How We Developed This Project
At fist in this stage I would like to promote our team and show to NASA Judgment who we are.

Dear NASA I have a lot of experience from Robotic field. I was also working and participating on USA project. We were working on project in USA South Carolina for BMW, then I have participate on USA project Mercedes Benz in Alabama. There I was daily working with robots and building automotive robotic production line. I have touch each part on the project and have in hands a small screws necessary to assembly the project.
Then I have also a lot of experience from business and coordinating corporation. I was working for IT company like Wistron and SMS InfoComm as SECN Coordinator. I had to lead and coordinate around 300 people and engineers.
As I have my education Master degree as Wood Working Technology what gives me a view about Wooden Anatomy and DNA structure there I have been also learn about robotics what fascinated me. At my university they taught me how to build and calculate Wooden Robotic Production line. How fast material (wood) is going through the process and what kind of robot is necessary.
This hobby and interest stay until this time and I am currently working as Robot Simulation Engineer. I do work and design all process for Mercedes Benz and programming it. When we have done collision and movements we export to PLC languages.
At work I am daily using Delmia software
This is my current work, but we do more difficult simulations:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUrXHsx3nnk&t=6s
As you can see I am interested for a long time in designing and programming projects. I am cooperating with my team for a long time. We have attend also KUKA competition with also development idea together with Eng. Jimmy Majumder.
What tools, coding languages, hardware, software did you use to develop your project?
I am taking it as tool which I say is that this project for you we have designed in Blender software.
We did for a reason of legal restrictions. It means that KarlIV Robonaut and all the X,Y,Z movement was developed and designed in Blender Software. We are able in interest to send you original file if NASA required. As I have said above I am at work using Delmia Software and we are able to design something similar in Delmia and export to PLC coding languages.
This action in Delmia but need license and finance to do this for NASA. It means that this project and COLLADA file we have sent is only illustrating what our team can do for NASA. Please consider also fact that the movement and simulation could be in some finance support done by professionals by KUKA Europe Robotic team.

This is Jimmy from Bangladesh; I have had working experience with NASA and many international organizational activities. My expertise is in Robotics and Advanced innovation technology with startup. I have been working at the WOW Robotics Foundation from starting to now as an Executive Board Member. This time I am highly motivated for our Robonaut project as a technical team member (co-lead, in operation).
In my personal opinion, This concept has a high research impact on ISS to MOON even MARS too. Because we have deep research background and space tech interaction. Respecting all, We believe our concept will add a new era for space technology with NASA.
I nominated myself onboard for the Space Apps Challenge-2020 in this virtual hub for COVID-19.
Thank you!

What inspired your team to choose this challenge?
We would be open and let you know that our team Karl and Jimmy have met already 1 year ago on FB forum. We like our view about robotics. Its also our hobby and we are both good in it. We have attend robotic competition one year ago and we would wish to some how cooperate with NASA on Moon project.
We know that we are able to be a big plus for NASA and bring to their teams power.
That's why we search and still work on our life journey on getting closer to NASA.
We have tried another way but this we see more possible to get discuss our experience and have discuss that to not be US. Citizen is not minus.
Our experience and daily work is strong in Robotics. We are strong for NASA.
That's why we go to this competition. We have contacted also NASA Mr Salazar as you could see on the video above.
We have interest why NASA is not sending ROBONAUT to Moon. You can see Salazar opinion and the situation.
We get idea how to move with this NASA project. KarlIV ROBONAUT is solution. This can really work as you can see James Bruton video of BB8 ball. We believe that current ROBONAUT can have different platforms. ROBONAUT would change the bottom platform. We believe that with this solution NASA can move forward and we could finally send ROBONAUT to Moon to work there and solve for us a lot of questions.
We also thought about cost on the project. We try to consider all important things around this project to send Robots to Moon. To prepare place for HUMANS.
To teach us about Moon.
What was your approach to developing this project?
We want to let know NASA and Judgments know that we took this project seriously in every views. The Project what we are talking here about. We basically not use any PR or Marketing tools. We stay away of public with this project and our skills. We really take the facts of our experience and work which we are daily doing in Robotics. We know the rules of security and security. We know the secrets and the rules of NASA, ESA, etc.
We want to show you that we as members can be a strong team and help to NASA ROBONAUT team to move on.
On the track we move and collaborate together. As you can see we spend a lot of time on the project and we know that we can do even more for NASA. We have done only basic simulation. We believe with NASA Support and NASA team we could design even bigger process. We could manage to cooperate even together with lunar vehicle or any other robots. We believe if NASA support our team we could bring real specialist. If NASA, ESA would invest money I believe that we could manage to simulate by KUKA European Team a process of building first ISS on the Moon.
That's why we go this way.
We know that we have this experience, specialist, engineers, teams.
We know we can offer a project to NASA, ESA what ever government institution.
We see as the future. One day we will send robots to Moon, Mars, Space, etc.
We need to simulate them and organize. We need to simulate any conditions on space. That's what the software would simulate. Then we would only upload to robots and they will do for us this process in the space. We could after online coordinate in the space life. Anytime to connect back to the process.
It means that I hope that we have replied to your question and be able to see that there is a way. Our team are real specialists in robotics and behind us is staying also team of KUKA robotics.
We want to find a way how to cooperate. That's why we have designed solution for NASA ROBONAUT team. That's why here is KarlIV ROBONAUT. We see the join possible to develop better but this is really one of the solution how to move ROBONAUT in the space. There is a way that the current NASA ROBONAUT would be a part of any technic. You could also attach ROBONAUT body to a lunar vehicle. It depends, but it would still be a part programmatic for the process.
We see a ball as a strong Robot to space. Please watch the video of James Bruton.
What problems and achievements did your team have?
If you really wants to hear a start of this project and idea, then lets say.
Our first idea was in a ball a sphere.
We see this dimensions as a best for any movement in a space. In a basic ball is a fantastic dimensions also in any form of life. We were thinking about an idea a robotic ball in a space.
We thought about also something like this
Sea Buoy
We see there also opportunity to work in the offline mode when the robot would measure weather condition at space. We see a huge danger of any kind of robotic system in SPACE STORM. It can completely destroy any kind of technic and that's why we want to learn how it works. That's DATA we wish to have. We want to at first to learn about real weather condition on the Moon, Mars, before we send there any HUMAN colony.
In this stage we start to search for a partner with any kind of robotic ball and we found Mr James Bruton from UK.
We were amazed by his BB8 Robotic Ball. We watch all his video but we get to problems. At our thoughts was this project.
But the problem which we had was in the stability. We did not see that the head was stabile.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zeOsc1gf0Y&feature=emb_title
We try to contact Mr James Bruton about the situation and our idea. We get to the stage with robot that it is really stabile. That was one big achievement we did in this project.
It can really work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMTq-7Ehm-M&list=PLpwJoq86vov8Tfr2-JUcma3lO0mLid_FX&index=5
In this part we knew that this robot is possible to manage. We have really super robotic ball. This ball is possible to run, hold ROBONAUT and on the end work at space.
We really think that in special design this ball could even run on water surface.
That's how we moved.
After we have been mostly using experience.
Well we are able to work also with typical Lunar vehicle but we see really in the ball better option to a Moon storm. If we would have 1000 pcs of this BB9 or BB10 balls it would be amazing.
We really could connected them in a huge process and it could cooperate on the layout. We could do strategical separating and see how the weather on the Moon affect robotically technics.
As you can see we really believe also simplicity. Look at a basic game with a small balls. If you click to ball by your finger it goes to one hole like in a golf. Can you imagine to have 1000 pcs of BB8 ball at Moon what it would do by Mars storm or Moon wind? Can you imagine to turn a position and make any kind of process. Can you imagine to bring a expensive interested stone to aircraft and let it bring to Earth for laboratory experience.
We believe that this BB8 could work for us. We believe it could bring also a laboratory example.
That's how we see the project and that's how we go and that's what we are right now by this challenge trying to explain to NASA team.
Here we share with NASA Judgments also RoadMAP and plan for next 4 years:
As you can see we have done RoadMap as well with real calculation and approximate cost for this KarlIV ROBONAUT Project. We have calculated how much would be approximate cost on realization of this project until Landing Karl IV ROBONAUT on the Moon
Please really think about the possibilities.
The decision to fast become to Moon (4years) or to space and to do new human colony on a new planets is right now in your hands. In your decision. Only you judgments can decide about the future of this civilization. You can change the FUTURE.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
Data is one of the most informatic segment for exposing our idea and research work into the reality where most of the contents and information has gathered from open-access tools in google source links, NASA's website, Youtube links and so on that already have mentioned. Anyway, for a particular agency, we prefer NASA as our first choice. In a public section, the statement was imprecise about Robonaut in the moon and robots for ISS development by the NASA's speaker bureau and BARRC with a senior NASA's lead engineer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=052u5qwe7UU&t=199s
Please see that Gorge Salazar from NASA, he helps us also to move forward on this project.
As you can see we are working on development also with DATA from agencies. We are also having in the team a whole Bangladesh Robotic Agency which is cooperating with NASA partially.
Bangladesh Advance Robotics Research Center.
There is huge cooperation with people from the Robotic background.
We have paid also membership in James Bruton Xrobot Co. Uk company
We have collected all necessary resources and data from the public and we have joined a team. Now we are staying in front of the decision from NASA to decide if you would reply to us some important questions which our team needs to reply to. Then we believe if NASA would give us this opportunity then we can bring from the private Robotic Sector and with our experience useful to this Earth and Generations.
Besides, we are following and tracking data from GITAI Inc. / GITAI Japan they are also developing robots for ISS. Their robotics robot navigation system and manipulation will be also added in our future proposed idea as much as we can do.
https://gitai.tech/en/
Also, JAXA is our second filed of interest for exploration in space. We already have a close connection for technical support from JAXA.
Furthermore, MIT Zero robotics is our affiliated audience. Mizanul Chowdhury, Chief Architect, System Administrator, and Architect ZeroRobotics is also acting advisor in Bangladesh robot agency thereby we may have a tech lead resource and data from MIT person too. Moreover,
we mentioned our team member Mr. Jimmy Majumder, he has had many experiences but this is not enough to describe. Anyway, his research and working experiences in relevant works for the data analyzing method will apply by his agency and team of BARRC.
However, We believe if NASA gives us chance to cooperate on a project then we could be useful. We might change next-generation technology and possibilities.
