Is it possible to use Skype's SDK for bots to create a means of communication between a person messaging on Skype to a robot connected to a different messenger's phone?
The goal is to make a program where a user can send commands via Skype message to control the movement of a robot connected to a different messenger's phone. While video calling, I'd like to be able to move the robot connected to the person on the other end of the call. The robot would be connected to the phone of the person with the robot, imitating telepresence.
If this is not possible, what means of communication from phone to phone to robot could be used?

I'm trying to make a Windows 10 Universal App to make a third party tile for my Microsoft Band but it doesn't say in the documentation how to get my App to recognize the Band through USB. It only says how to do it through Bluetooth. The documentation also doesn't tell me how to access the GPS sensor. How do I do all these things?
To answer your first question, USB for the Band is used for charging. In order for you to test, you need to go through via Bluetooth. Your setup should be
Visual Studio > Launch App on your Device (mobile is connected to your laption via USB) > Test App on Mobile (which talks to Band via Bluetooth).
Note: Make sure Band is paired with the Mobile you are using to test.
To answer your second question, you can not subscribe to GPS on the band. It is not opened for thrid party app access. GPS is exclusive at this point.
I want to load test my application and I'm deciding b/w choosing a load testing service or simulating the clients on my own.
My question is whether I can accomplish this user scenario using any of the load testing tools available.
My test will have two types of users, A & B. Communication would be between A and B. A-A communication and B-B communication is not there.
I want Users to login to my application through mobile or web. Either type of users could log in through either type of platform.
Make multiple GET/PUT/POST requests to my application server with specific parameters.
Be able to exchange video or text messages by integrating through services like Pusher and Vidyo.
'3' is probably the most important requirement for me, and I'm wondering if I could simulate the dummy users so that it listens to a pusher channel and can open up a Vidyo iframe in the emulated browser / mobile device for a specific pusher message?
I got on call with Blazemeter and turns out they or anyone in the market doesn't support plugins on emulated browsers. I finally simulated the clients on my own replicating all the server calls a typical browser or mobile device makes for my application.
I haven't yet been able to load test Vidyo and don't know if there's a way to do it except by opening up conferences manually.
I was able to load test services like Pusher and SQS successfully.
I've got a Windows 8 Professional device which has got a Mobile Broadband adapter embedded and I need to be able to send AT commands to the modem, usually I'd connect to the COM port and send the commands. However the device doesn't appear to have any COM ports, instead it presents its self as a network adapter.
I'm wanting to send AT commands to change the APN of the modem and to reset the device, I've looked into the 'netsh mbn add profile' but this command always returns an error advising that the XML profile is incorrect.
Also from looking at the functions of the netsh mbn it doesn't seem to provide as much control as sending AT commands.
The modem that I'm trying to interface to is the Ericsson C5621 GW on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2.
Is there another way to send AT commands?
Thanks
I do not know this product in particular, but since I worked in Ericsson, later in ST-Ericsson with mobile phone development for over a decade it is doomed to have some of my code in it so I'll answer on a general basis.
Short version is, no unless the device exposes a serial interface over one of the external interfaces (possible interface types are RS-232, IrDA, Bluetooth, USB or CAIF), there is no way of sending AT commands to it1.
Being an embedded device in a laptop and
your since you say it seems to be without serial interfaces I assume it uses CAIF (commonly used in embedded settings. It could also have be using USB with the serial interfaces disabled, but since this press release mentions that it will be available in a version with PCI interface, that is very unlikely). And thus unless the device is set up with any active VEI channels, there is no ways in for AT commands.
There might be other ways of changing the APN though.
1 We had a debug mechanism to inject AT commands onto arbitrary serial interfaces, but this itself was running on a serial interface, started by an AT command. And besides it will not be present in released products.
In my office I have 10 WiFi routers.I want to list all those(similar to Network icon in the system tray on windows 8) and connect/disconnect to one of them through Win Rt.
I tried these API
Windows::Networking::Connectivity::NetworkInformation::GetLanIdentifiers();
Windows::Networking::Connectivity::NetworkInformation::GetConnectionProfiles();
NetworkInformation::GetInternetConnectionProfile();
but these Api only list connected one, it doesn't list others
I can achieve this using http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms706716(v=vs.85).aspx. But I am not sure this Api will be supported on Windows 8 metro mode.
Does WinRt provides Api support for this ??
You cannot connect/disconnect to a network from a Windows App. You can only check informations. The reason is (for Microsoft) that the connection manager is accessible from your app through the charms bar.
This functionality is not exposed to Metro style applications. An operator's app can create profiles for their networks (with known SSIDs), but listing and connecting to visible networks is controlled by the user via the Windows connection management UI, not by an application. [Mike Bishop [MSFT], here]
The advanced connectivity functionnalities are present in Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators, which functionalities are only available to mobile operator apps and Windows Store apps given privileged access by mobile network operators.
Take a look at the Microsoft's Network information sample which shows what you can achieve with this API.
I have a local installation of Voxeo's Prophecy platform, and a voice xml application that runs on the voicexml browser of the platform. How can i call the application to listen to the message, without having a sip phone, and without using the voxeo's hosting capability? I just want to call the application at the local installation without using a phone. When i try this from the browser, i just get the xml file containing the dialog.
Why are you trying to start the application without a SIP phone? The developer version of Prophecy comes with a SIP phone that works great for testing and debugging. Are you trying to access the application from a regular telephone or POTS. If that is the case you will need additional hardware, such as a Cisco VoIP Gateway to translate the land-line signal to SIP. There are a number of VoIP Gateways available. Another option is to put Dialogic cards in your server and use a software that translates between SIP and the Dialogic API. If you purchase Prophecy from Voxeo as an appliance there are options they can sell you to achieve this. The advantage of getting this from Voxeo is that they will help configure it, which is not trivial depending upon the type type of telephone lines you are using and whether they are behind a PBX or not.
The telephony/communications interface to Prophecy is SIP so that is the only way to communicate with it. You could use any open source SIP stacks to develop something yourself, but the easiest thing to do is to use a software based SIP phone. It is not like you could just start talking and the VXML app would know what you intended, or if the if the voice input was really intended for the VXML app. You still need to maintain things like sessions and routing to the correct application which is easily handled by a SIP phone. Prophecy is designed for a telephony environment. If you are trying to use it for something like a home automation system, which some people have, I would think you would have to provide some type of SIP front end that is voice activated.
