Methods and a system for controlling the movements of a proxy robot surrogate by utilizing electrical signals from the nervous system of a user are presented. One method includes identifying electrical signal pickup points on the body of the user； connecting electrodes to the electrical signal pickup points； amplifying the electrical signals from each signal pickup point； processing the electrical signals from each signal pickup point； aggregating the processed electrical signals or patterns originating from the signal pickup points； encoding the processed electrical signals for transmission over a path to a proxy robot； receiving the processed electrical signals at the location of the proxy robot； decoding the processed electrical signals 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.
