Working on the Assault Scout Technical Manual for the new assault scout design and wrote up the maintenance robot. Enjoy.<br /><br />
<p>The Swift class assault scout carries six Mark VI standard
Starfleet maintenance robots (SMR-MKVI) that perform general janitorial work on
the ship as well as are responsible for helping the engineer with any shipboard
maintenance and damage control.</p>
<p>When not actively performing duties, the robots are docked
in their storage cradles on the Engineering Deck (area 9) which also serve as
their charging stations.<span> </span>These cradles
keep them secured during zero- and high-g maneuvers.</p>
<p>The robots have a standard body and are roughly humanoid in
shape with two legs, two arms, and a head although they are somewhat smaller
than a human standing only 1.5m tall.<span>
</span>This allows them to access all of the passages and crawl spaces designed
for the live crew.<span> </span>However, they have an
extra set of arms (for a total of 4), allowing them to manipulate and hold more
tools and components while working.<span>
</span>Their "feet" have built in magnetic shoes allowing them to
work on the hull of the ship even while under acceleration.<span> </span>They are fully capable of working in vacuum
with no adverse effects.</p>
<p>They have both normal optical vision as well as built in IR
goggles allowing them to see in both visible and infrared wavelengths
simultaneously as part of their maintenance duties.</p>
<p>While they have no built in armament beyond their hands, the
robots are equipped with an Attack/Defense program and can participate in
boarding actions and repelling any boarding attempts if necessary.<span> </span>They can use any standard weapon from the
ship's stores if instructed to do so.</p>
<p>The robots are connected to the ship's computer via their
computer link program and the ship's robot management program.<span> </span>This is used to coordinate their janitorial,
maintenance, and repair activities either autonomously or under direction of
the ships engineer.<span> </span>As such, they form
an integral part of the ship's Damage Control Rating, accounting for 15 of the
60 total DCR rating.<span> </span>For every two
robots missing from the ship's compliment, reduce its DCR by 5 points.</p>

<h3>Mission and functions</h3>
<h4>Mission</h4>
<p>Maintain assigned ship and assist in protection of ship and
crew.</p>
<h5>Function 1: Maintain ship's systems</h5>
<p>The ship's systems are defined by a list of all the various
components on the ship.<span> </span>Maintenance is
defined as a list of standard tasks and checks to be performed on a set
schedule.<span> </span>Details of the operation and
status of the various systems are part of the robot's maintenance program</p>
<h5>Function 2: Repair damaged systems</h5>
<p>When routine maintenance and checks determine that a system
is not operating properly, the robots, in conjunction with the ship's computer
and engineers, use data in the robot's maintenance program to bring the system
back into its proper state or working condition</p>
<h5>Function 3: Assist as directed in defending ship</h5>
<p>Direction can come from the ship's computer or authorized
ship's crew and can include instructions on level of force, type of weapons,
and areas of the ship to defend.<span> </span>In the
absence of other instructions, priority is given to protecting the crew first,
and ship's systems secondarily.</p>
<h5>Function 4: Assist in boarding actions</h5>
<p>Under direction of authorized ship's crew member, assist in
capture of other vessels using designated force, weapons, and objectives.<span> </span>Robot must remain in visible range of a
ship's crew member at all times when leaving the ship and has a priority of
defending the ship's crew.</p>
<h5>Function 5: Perform tasks assigned by ship's crew and computer</h5>
<p>Perform non-routine tasks as assigned by authorized ship's
crew members or the ship's computer.</p>
<h5>Function 6: Authorized ship's crew</h5>
<p>Authorized ship's crew are defined as all ship crew members
assigned to the vessel by the governing authority (Spacefleet, planetary
militia, etc.). Recognition is by vocal, visual, and biometric prints delivered
via the ship's computer when the crew member is assigned to the ship.</p>
