Methods and systems for controlling the movements of a proxy robot utilizing electrical signals from the nervous system of a user are presented; including identifying signal pickup points on the body of the user; connecting electrodes to the pickup points; amplifying and processing the signals from each pickup point; aggregating and encoding the processed signals for transmission to a proxy robot; receiving and decoding the processed electrical signals at the location of the proxy robot into their original component electrical signals corresponding to an electrical signal from a particular pickup point on the body of the user; processing each component electrical signal by a driver configured for an individual motion-producing element in the proxy robot; addressing by the component electrical signals each motion-producing element in the motor system of the proxy robot surrogate; and causing the proxy robot surrogate to emulate every movement of the user.
