We present Bot to Bot, a system for developers to write voice controlled applications in a high-level language while retaining portability over a variety of different robot hardware platforms. In this paper we describe how Bot to Bot leverages advances in natural language processing and robotic control to take a user’s voice command and translate it into a structured intent for the robot throug...

While numerous extensions of Cardelli and Wegner's calculus of polymorphism and subtyping, Kernel Fun, have been studied during the past decade, one quite simple one has received little attention: the addition of a minimal type Bot, dual to the familiar maximal type Top. We develop basic meta-theory for this extension. Although most of the usual properties of Kernel Fun (existence of meets and ...

Introduction Borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) constitute 15% of all epithelial ovarian cancers. As the term borderline implies they clinically behave intermediate between benign and malignant tumors. Synonyms of BOT include tumors of borderline malignancy, tumors of low malignant potential, and atypical proliferative tumors (1). Histologically, the borderline tumors are defined by the presence o...

Public health practitioners can use Behavior Over Time (BOT) graphs to spur discussion and systems thinking around complex challenges. Multiple large systems, such as health care, the economy, and education, affect chronic disease rates in the United States. System thinking tools can build public health practitioners' capacity to understand these systems and collaborate within and across sector...

AIM Borderline ovarian tumors(BOT) account for ten to 20 percent of all epitelial ovarian carcinomas and often occur in reproductive ages. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and reproductive outcomes of patients who were diagnosed with BOT and underwent fertility sparing surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients younger than 40 years who underwent fertility sparing surgery for B...

The UTˆ2 bot, which had a humanness rating of 27.2727% in BotPrize 2010, is based on two core ideas: (1) multiobjective neuroevolution is used to learn skilled combat behavior, but filters on the available combat actions ensure that the behavior is still human-like despite being evolved for performance, and (2) a database of traces of human play is used to help the bot get unstuck when its navi...

Game bots are a critical threat to Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) because they can seriously damage the reputation and in-game economy equilibrium of MMORPGs. Existing game bot detection techniques are not only generally sensitive to changes in game contents but also limited in detecting emerging bot patterns that were hitherto unknown. To overcome the limitation of l...

In this paper, we study coordinated motion in a swarm robotic system, called a swarm-bot. A swarm-bot is a self-assembling and self-organizing artifact, composed of a swarm of s-bots, mobile robots with the ability to connect to and disconnect from each other. The swarm-bot concept is particularly suited for tasks that require abilities of navigation on rough terrain, such as space exploration ...

Peripheral nerve injury triggers the activation of RhoA in spinal motor and peripheral sensory neurons. RhoA activates a number of effector proteins including the Rho-associated kinase, ROCK, which targets the cytoskeleton and leads to inhibition of neurite outgrowth. Blockade of the Rho/ROCK pathway by pharmacological means improves axon regeneration after experimental injury. C3(bot) transfer...
