When astronauts live and work on the Moon, they'll have to deal with lunar dust—which isn't just a breathing hazard, but can also cause visibility issues for both people and machines. A team of engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center are working on a solution: the Instantaneous Clarity of Ambient Environment Capability (ICAN-C) project, which uses artificial intelligence to effectively remove dust and small particle debris from optical systems in real time. ICAN-C also has potential applications outside of space, such as helicopter landings, underwater operations, and other areas that require visual clarity.

Could luner dust be melted, i.e. vitrified, into a solid glass like road and land plot area, using mirrors to reflect, collect and concentrate light into one hot spot, at about 5000 C, a small hot spot which is gradually moved about the ground melting and solidifying the dust into a solid floor until the entire solid floor area is made, then no more dust!
Lunar dust creating a breathing hazard .Ok... But on the moon ?
Whoever finds a successful method of removing moon dust off equipment deserves a statue on the moon!
That sounds great, depending on the application. For visors and face shields, there are manual options that could be integrated with AI. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/the-toolbox/selecting-the-proper-tear-offs-for-your-helmet/31278
use a Vision Pro with a scanned digital twin of the surrounding terrain. No visibility, no problem (things don't change that much on the moon).
Well 👍✅ thanks
Wow.... never heard of that before... 😁
How about static electricity.
