"PAAM (personal astronaut assistant monitor) is an AI machine that acts like a personal astronaut assistant. It is mainly made out of titanium and aluminum alloy. It is mostly white, with a bit of black and gray. It consists of a camera, cargo-carrying platform and arms, dust vacuum, screen, radio, and retractable arms with a changeable tool head. PAAM also includes sensors that track dust, temperature, pressure, oxygen, humidity, and carbon dioxide and monoxide. Some other sensors that it has are automatic collision avoidance sensors, 3D vision sensors, and voice recognition sensors. PAAM has automatic collision avoidance sensors and 3D vision sensors so that it won’t collide with other things while moving, and it will be able to tell where something needs to be repaired. It has voice recognition sensors so that when astronauts are working, they can easily tell commands to their PAAM without having to move. For example, an astronaut can tell PAAM to fix something or send a message to another astronaut.
PAAM is meant to perform indoor tasks like simple repairs, collecting dust, moving around cargo, and filming photos or videos to send back to Earth. The tools on the toolhead can be switched or changed, to fit a certain repair better. Furthermore, the camera on it is able to detach, so that it can capture other things while PAAM is doing another task. Like I mentioned before, it also has many sensors that allow it to record temperature, oxygen, humidity, etc. PAAM also has a screen that can display reminders, tasks, data, or messages.
The characteristics of PAAM that make it suitable for the inside of the Lunar gateway are that it isn’t too big, has rounded edges, and can be charged. Most of the tools on PAAM can also fold inwards or retract, which frees up space and allows it to move around more efficiently."
