Again, these are the distinctions drawn in my universe.
A bot is any artifical intelligence, whether it's the mind piloting a ship or controlling a space station or something like me. A cyborg is a bot with an android body that's partly organic--we're manufactured, not born. An augmented human is a person with robotic parts or other computered augmentations added consensually.
So. Given that--there's at least one android on the ship, but she's not a cyborg. There's also an augmented human, a man with a metal arm. Also, I think...
[It pauses, because what it's about to say is very much personal theory, a gut feeling, and it doesn't know how to explain it.]
Gal Friday seems to be a bot, even if she is organic. I think she's constructed.
